Add an audio source (custom channel)

To stream the audio for a source you need to add it to a channel and make sure audio is enabled in the
channel's encoding page. (Audio is enabled in the encoding page by default.)

Audio must be added to each layout for your channel. You can use the same audio for each layout, or if you
desire, you can have different layouts use different audio. If you're not sure how to create a channel or a
layout, start by reviewing the first few steps in the topic
