Feature: Explore supporting user-provided audio tracks

[omeryusufyagci]

This is a suggestion from the community that asks us to support user-provided audio tracks as replacement to filtered content.

As a first step, we could try to provide support for adding audio tracks on the filtered media and see where we can go from there.

Could be a good first issue for anyone interested in this and is comfortable working with C++ (see MediaProcessor), as it's mostly a standalone feature that shouldn't be too difficult to integrate with the existing program.

Can you elaborate this issue further? What do you mean by user-provided audio tracks? What should be the input and output for this feature?

Hi @Rushi1109, this is an interesting one really!

It's about applying an external audio track on top of a source file.
So, imagine the user has a video they want to filter, and then they have a secondary audio track, like some ambient sounds to apply on top of the cleaned audio. This would make it possible to record a conversation such as a podcast in a noisy environment, clean it, and even add a custom audio track as the new background sound.

In terms of implementation, we should provide a new pipeline in the processing engine for this, and not assume that will only be invoked after filtering, i.e. a user may want to use this functionality simply to append a new audio track without filtering the original media file.

Please let me know if you have any further questions, and if you'd like me to assign this to you. Thanks!

Hi @omeryusufyagci
Is someone working on this? Can I take this up?

Hi @MinatoNamikaze02, I am not aware of anyone working on this. It's all yours. Thanks for the interest!
