My Source Recorded audio is choppy, even after upgrading the PC. I thought it was a performance issue, but no, the new machine is much faster and hovering around 25% on all 8 cores, 3.7GiB used out of 16GiB of RAM, and it still does this.

Log file, truncated to the first 5 minutes out of an hour session because the analyzer says the whole thing is too big:
I don't stream or record the main (Program) output - that goes through the Virtual Camera to a meeting app, so I can produce the meeting feed like usual - but I do record a scene that is made for the local audience, never for the remote one, and has some automation to make a good recording of both the local and remote sides of the meeting in the same video. Thus, this plugin, as the only filter on that scene.
I have it recording Different Audio, as shown here:
Track 1 only, until this is resolved, but I really want to record all 6 tracks for the possibility of editing later. "All" was completely undecipherable. "Track 1" does this (same session that produced the logfile above):
Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Auxiliary question, that may or may not be related:
What does "Source" mean in this context, immediately below "Audio Track"? The choices are all of my scenes, so I picked the one that contains this plugin as a filter. But what does it actually do?
All of my audio sources are global, one for each Track with OBS's Monitor Off, with the one exception of a video source in a different scene that can have its filename swapped as needed. Its audio goes to OBS's Monitor Only and no Tracks, so that an external processor can grab it, mix it with everything else, and feed it back on a couple of global sources that, as mentioned above, feed OBS's Tracks.
