Stereo audio support for regular voice chatting
Context
I know there have been other tickets relating to stereo audio functionality in mumble. They appear to have largely been dismissed because they involve using mumble for use cases that are arguably not really what mumble is for.
The reason why I think this request is different is that there are now sub-$100 stereo microphones that someone can very reasonably use as a desktop mic for their voice chatting, and I in fact do so. Specifically, https://www.bestbuy.com/site/jlab-talk-professional-plug-play-usb-microphone/6417453.p?skuId=6417453
I like to sing to my friends, and I also have friends that respond well to ASMR. Stereo would greatly aid in both of these. I've gone as far as setting up an icecast stream so that I can stream to my friends with that (at high latency cost), while they talk to me on mumble, just to stimulate my friend's ASMR better, and it was worth it, but definitely annoying to do. I can't be the only one who wishes to use mumble this way, can I?
Description
It would be nice for mumble to support transmitting stereo audio from a regular stereo audio source, such as any stereo microphone or line-in device. As I understand, it can already receive stereo audio, so even a beta build with this would work right away with existing clients.

I think that most likely this will only happen in the context of #5408, but let's keep this as a separate issue anyway.
I'd also like to comment that many phones now (including the one I own, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8) have 2 microphones for stereo recording/speech.

Hello, I really want to need this function, too. Can you ask me how long it will take to complete this function? Thank you very much. When I use the sound card to sing, mono will appear, and the sound quality Not better,
No ETA for this. I don't expect this to happen any time soon though

Thank you very much, I hope this day will come soon!
If stereo and high sound quality are supported, this is really a very good software.TeamSpeakIt's still charged, and it's not very easy to use.I hope your software is getting better and better.
How long can we support stereo sound? We want to use this software to sing songs
We already support stereo output. As for input, that will be supported as soon as someone implements it. This, however, is a lot more work than it might seem at first glance due to the way the current code is written (unfortunately).
