RELEASE CANDIDATE

Please test this binary and use the Discussion thread to let me know of any problems or feedback.

• Requires OBS28
• Requires NDI5
• Fixes audio glitch bug(s)

Perhaps I should update the readme with install instructions (especially for Linux)?

If you are a user that wants to stay on OBS27, please use the Discussion thread and let me know so that I can prioritize releasing a pre-obs28 version.
