Audio capture needs to be reselected every screenshare despite visual indications

(#2937) Bug Confirmed desktop video

Observed behaviour

On the second screenshare, menus show that the app audio from last time is still being captured, but it doesn't actually capture until you toggle things.

Reproduction steps

  1. Screenshare with audio once
  2. Leave the call
  3. Rejoin and screenshare the same app

Details

Expected behaviour Either the audio capture setting should be remembered, or it should visually indicate that the audio capture setting has reset to None so the user knows to reselect the audio capture setting. Personally I'm fine with having to reselect.
