for the audio passthrough to be used in 0.24 you must have "advanced
audio settings" be checked and the override passhtrough device checked
as well.

In my fork, there's no advanced audio settings to be checked anymore
as I figured that if people are crazy enough to override the advanced
settings, let them be.

It can't be the same setup; downgrading from my branch to 0.24 stock ;
you will have to check advanced audio settings for those options to be
active.
