Expected Behavior

Media Source should appear in the Audio Mixer with volume control, just like in version 31.0.4.

Current Behavior

After upgrading to 32.1.0, Media Source does not show in the Audio Mixer at all.
Downgrading to 31.0.4 fixes the issue - Media Source appears correctly in the mixer.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open OBS Studio 32.1.0
2. Add a Media Source (video file with audio)
3. Check the Audio Mixer - Media Source is not visible
4. No volume control available for the media source
5. Play the media - still no audio meter or volume control in mixer

Anything else we should know?

This appears to be a regression caused by PR #13118 "frontend: Ignore sources with disabled audio in mixer".

The obs_source_audio_active() check may not correctly detect media source audio as "active" even when the media is playing.

This works correctly in:

• OBS Studio 31.0.4 ✓

This is broken in:

• OBS Studio 32.1.0 ✗

The issue affects macOS users who rely on Media Source for video/audio playback with mixer control.

@sdwurg180507280211 can you include an example file? I am trying to reproduce this issue and all seems to be working fine for me on the same OBS version and on macOS.

I am also unable to reproduce this.
