obs audio audio tracks change during live + websocket?

The word "tracks" has several possible meanings, as do most media terms.
OBS's Tracks are fed only from the Advanced Audio Properties. Then you choose in Settings -> Output which of those you want to stream and/or record. Each track contains the entire channel count that OBS is set for: mono (1), stereo (2), 5.1 (6), etc.
Tracks in general are simply independent streams of "something". A 24-track audio recorder, for example, records 24 mono waveforms simultaneously and separately. Stereo takes 2 of those, 5.1 takes 6 of them, etc. Play them simultaneously in sync through a mixer, and you can produce a stereo track (different definition again) to release commercially. A video editor will even have video tracks that work in much the same way.
So what do you actually mean?

My first thought at a solution, which still works across several possible definitions, is to have multiple copies of the same source, that each go to different places, and turn the various copies on or off, up or down, etc.
OBS probably does that natively with the Websocket API, but I think the Advanced Scene Switcher plugin still gives much better visibility and thus makes it easier to maintain. It can control almost everything in OBS in response to almost anything.
