My idea is it that Twitch joni forces with the developers of OBS, Xsplit etc to create a secondary audio track option for broadcasters to have sent to their stream while broadcasting. This would be really cool, as a streamer and a viewer, for a couple of reasons - firstly, it would allow viewers to control the volume of the music that the streamers are playing, or even mute it if they don't like it and play their own, while also listening to the gameplay and commentary. It would also have the added benefit of the streamer not having to worry about their main stream content being muted on the vod if they had songrequest on for example, so if someone opened a knife in CSGO or had a crazy donation it wouldn't be muted in the vod. Naturally the second audio channel would still be subject to copyright protection, it's just that if streamers were playing their own music, only the secondary audio track would be affected.
My thoughts are that this would be a very welcome addition by a lot of streamers, both for their and their viewers. There's plenty of times I want to watch a streamer but would prefer my own music, and as a streamer it'd be nice to not have to worry about viewers finding my choice of music too loud, quiet, or unappealing.
