Add a setting to let user to choose coreaudio or avfoundation as the audio driver #5137

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Changes look good. With the suggested code change the audio driver can be dynamically changed. There is a couple of seconds delay and then mpv starts the audio again using the selected driver. This might be useful to users who like Spatial Audio, but don't like the mute delay bug with AVFoundation. So they might switch to AVFoundation only when playing a video with Spatial Audio. I'm thinking make this dynamic, just because I think apps should always avoid the requirement to restart after changing a setting, if possible. If we do make it dynamic we should update the Inspector window to understand the driver can change. Thoughts?

Noticed one other thing. The help button is way over to the right edge whereas other help buttons are close to the setting. |
I intentionally did this, because I also added a "flask" icon to indicate AVFoundation is an experimental option. I moved the question mark away to separate those 2 icons. |
