A collection of suggestions to improve the efficiency of our daily dwelling with audio devices, and make them operate like channels in a real/physical mixer.
Improvement #1: To be able to RENAME audio devices. I never know which one is the audio from Skype, or my microphone, or my media player etc (I use three different virtual cables at the same time).
Improvement #2: Implementing grey audio meters for muted devices. For exemple: on the list below, the first muted device (Mic/Aux 2) refers to my audio player, which is actually playing out loud. But because it sounds through a virtual cable, I can't hear it in my headphones, and the only way to tell it is actually sounding are the OBS meters. Once I press the Mute button, I can no longer monitor it visually, because the meters are gone, as if I had faded the volume to minus infinite -- which is a different thing and has a different utility -- just like the third audio device, "Fonte de mídia (4)": in this case it is OK to have no green bars moving, because the volume has been completely faded down.
Improvement #3: Implementing a "Monitor on/off" button to each individual audio device. This way we could quickly enable/disable monitoring for each device or audio source, whithout having to open the mixer settings everytime we need to do so or to check the monitoring status. Wirecast, for instance, has a button beside the mute button in the master output that does exactly this. If the little headphone is white, monitoring is ON. If it's grey out, that means OFF.
Thank you guys fo this amazing peace of software, and for your attention to our requests!

Just remembered another one! Doesn't have to do with the mixer exactly, but I think it fits well in this list:
Improvement #4: Audio sources could fade-out/crossfade along with video dissolves/cross-dissolves. This would produce much softer transitions between scenes, instead of rough-cutting the audio (to achieve this effect, I currently have to lower the volume manually while the scenes are changing).
