Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now it's easy to use audio output or microphone in WSLg apps, but for CLI apps it's not possible. this prevents python programs for example: (A speech recognition app that uses microphone input) from working.
Describe the solution you'd like
Are there any plans to support forwarding mic input from the windows host the same as WSLg?
An example to check if python can detect any audio devices is using the package sounddevice .
python -m sounddevice

Research direction
Start by running python -m sounddevice in a WSL CLI environment to confirm that no audio input devices are exposed. Compare this with microphone access in WSLg apps and determine the host-to-CLI forwarding design; done means a CLI application can detect and use the Windows microphone.
