Description

### Feature Description

Right now there is no setting in DMS, to my knowledge, to change the audio balance. You can change this via pavucontrol but it resets every time the volume is changed.
Here is an example from GNOME:

### Use Case

### Compositor(s)

All compositors

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. Start by locating DMS's existing volume or audio-settings entry point and compare its behavior with pavucontrol; done means exposing a left-right balance setting that persists when the volume changes.
