The host received the client's mic uplink (0xCB Opus) but dropped it on Windows ("requires
Linux"). Windows has no user-mode way to CREATE a capture endpoint, so target an existing
virtual audio device and write the decoded mic PCM into its RENDER endpoint — the device's
CAPTURE endpoint then surfaces as a microphone host apps record from (the inverse of a
virtual cable). New audio::wasapi_mic::WasapiVirtualMic: finds the device by friendly-name
(Steam Streaming Microphone / VB-Audio CABLE Input / VoiceMeeter / "virtual", override with
PUNKTFUNK_MIC_DEVICE), opens a WASAPI shared event-driven RENDER client (48 kHz stereo f32,
autoconvert), and a dedicated COM thread writes a bounded (~80 ms drop-oldest) inject queue
with silence-fill. open_virtual_mic() gets a Windows arm; mic_service_thread (Opus decode →
push) now compiles for windows too (opus is already a windows dep). Clear error + install
guidance when no virtual device is present.
Linux/cross-platform side cargo-checks; the Windows path is built/validated when the box is
back (the wasapi render API was cross-checked against the docs + the existing capture path).
