Request to provide an option to the user to select the audio input as mono or stereo #416

Issue When I screen record a video using an external audio interface (asio drivers) the audio in the video appears only on the left channel. Captura assumes the audio input to be stereo and hence takes Input 1 of the audio interface as left channel and input 2 to be the right channel. As the microphone cannot be connected to both Input 1 and Input 2 at the same time this issue occurs.

PS: The system sound or desktop audio is stereo and is recorded perfectly by Captura. Its just the microphone audio that needs to be fixed

Solution The solution is to provide the user with an option to select the input as mono or stereo. If the input is selected as mono then the audio is placed at the center.

Sidenote I do not see any alternatives but would like you to have a look at this feature thats implemented in an another software Open Broadcaster Studio which lets user to select the input type. I am posting a screenshot of OBC for your reference.

Right now the workaround is to record the microphone audio to a separate file which Captura allows, move it to an audio editor and save it as a mono audio. Then take the video file and the saved mono file and sync it in a video editor which means so much of work...
