Research direction

Start by reviewing the screencat Electron application's existing screen-sharing and streaming entry points. Investigate whether system audio from applications such as VLC can be captured and streamed on macOS. Done would mean a documented feasibility result or a working capture path, but the issue names no files or tests.
