Expected Behavior

Input should be removed upon 'RemoveInput' also removing it from Audio Mixer

Current Behavior

Input lingers upon 'RemoveInput' remaining within the Audio Mixer and becomes a ghost input. It can't be added in frontend using 'Add Existing' where the input still shows after removal.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Create a media source input.
  2. Use websocket 'Remove Input' on that source.
  3. Find it still remains within OBS.
Anything else we should know?

OBS 32.0.2 expected behaviour
