Research direction

Start by locating ofBaseSoundStream::setup and setDeviceId in the audio stream implementation, then inspect how the stream lifecycle is managed after setup(). Check existing sound-stream tests or examples if present. Done means the post-setup device change has a defined, tested outcome: the stream is safely reopened or a clear error is reported.
