[Feature Request] Input Monitoring Volume Control

[Obsessee]

I usually keep Input Monitoring enabled so I can use it as sidetone. However, because it doesn't appear as its own application or audio source, there's no way to adjust its volume independently.

Right now, the only way to change the monitoring volume is by adjusting either the microphone input gain or the system output volume, both of which change other audio and cause more of a hassle.

It would be great to have a dedicated volume control for the Input Monitoring, independently of the microphone input volume and system output volume. If that's not desired, maybe it can be spawned as an actual node that is subject to volume control in the system volume settings. My personal preference goes out to an in-app control.

Hum... Both approaches are probably doable. But personally I prefer not having an always visible node in the system audio manager just for the sake of controlling this volume. Specially because this node could be set as the system default device by mistake. Or if implemented through streams it would be visible as an audio player.

It will probably be better to create a "gain control" node like the ones for the filters that is inserted between the virtual source and the output device. After that the question would be the window location where we should put this volume control.
