Describe the bug peek records sound all the time when video (like mp4) is recorded despite the setting checkbox state

To Reproduce

1. Play music through the laptop speakers
2. Start peek
3. Disable sound recording in settings
4. Record the screen for 5 seconds in MP4
5. Play recorder video (it will contains sound)

Expected behavior no sound was recorder

Version 1.5.1 has been released in February 2020, meanwhile I think it might have been fixed: https://github.com/phw/peek/commit/1044f270246aa2014350cc701fd47477d523b515

Yes. I've installed Peek 1.5.1 from ubuntu repo :shrug:. Now I have version from PPA (it's also 1.5.1 but from the end of 2021- peek/jammy,now 1.5.1+git20211214-1 amd64 [installed]) and the issue is still there. Now it records sound only for several seconds and at very low volume) but records

This is a very annoying problem. To remove sound from a video, you have to separately use the following command: ffmpeg -i $input_file -c copy -an $output_file. This is very annoying when you need to record video frequently.
