From what I understand this is already being worked on,

Check your logfile. Most likely the mic audio stream is falling too far behind on its timestamps (especially if you have 'use mic QPC timestamps' enabled). Once it gets too far behind, OBS simply starts discarding its audio, and the only way to get it back is to stop streaming and restart. What are you using for a microphone? Wireless headsets are notorious for having delay problems bad enough to trip this behaviour, same if you're trying to use any kind of voice-changer or software DSP stack (Screaming Bee, VSTHost, etc).

This happens on rare occasion, and usually the fix is to increase "scene buffering time" in advanced by 100 increments until it stops occurring.

And yes, the audio subsystem is being redone in the newer version.
