Description
In OBS Studio upstream, we still apply `--socket=x11` rather than `--socket=fallback-x11` to avoid the scenario where this plugin cause a segfault under Wayland to users.
As a possible solution, the plugin could be patched to not load under Wayland (`return false` in `obs_module_load()`).

Research direction
Start by inspecting the plugin's obs_module_load() entry point and the upstream OBS Studio socket configuration described in the issue. Determine how Wayland is detected and verify the chosen behavior against the reported segfault scenario; done means the plugin no longer triggers the crash under Wayland.
