[Possibly Linux-only] Screensharing with no audio playing from the selected app will fail to screenshare

Observed behaviour

Screenshare fails. I receive the following output in the terminal:
Error occurred in handler for 'native-audio:start': Error: Native audio capture started, but the selected app produced no audio frames
    at Timeout._onTimeout (file:///opt/Fluxer%20Canary/resources/app.asar/dist/main/MainApp.js:11:52147)
    at listOnTimeout (node:internal/timers:605:17)
    at process.processTimers (node:internal/timers:541:7)

Reproduction steps

  1. Screenshare something successfully
  2. Configure the screenshare to also share audio (this is to essentially save the setting so screenshare looks for audio next time you try to use it)
  3. End that screenshare
  4. Start screenshare on an app that is not currently playing audio
