To support external hardware destinations, like an overflow room or an external streaming box, or to feed a virtual device like a remote meeting - basically any time that OBS is feeding some other streaming device but the workflow is otherwise the same - add an audio output that follows the "Output" path of this selection:
In other words, we already have an audio output for the "Monitor". Just copy that for the "Output", so that OBS now has two audio outs: one for each destination of the above selection.
Presently, some of us are abusing the Monitor out to make our rigs work, effectively making it our Main out, which means that we lose its intended function. This addition would give us that function back, and the (usually sensible) default of "Monitor Off" would no longer bite us either.
