Subject: [PATCH] zebra-report: deploy audioCtx sinkId routing (fixes fedora
 chrome silence)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pulls in zebra-report 467146a: every audioCtx now routes to the
user-picked output sink via applySinkToAudioCtx(). Fixes the
fedora chrome silent-speaker telemetry where RTP arrived, worklet
started, ctxState=running, but no audio reached the user — because
audioCtx.destination was always emitting to system default while
the speaker dropdown set <audio> sinks only. fox 2026-06-06.

Audio path now respects the picker on Chrome ≥110 and Firefox ≥116.
Older browsers continue to fall through to default.
