I've been fiddling with Open Camera (OC) to get a feel for it with my DJI Mini Mic lately and seem to keep getting "bitten" after doing long recordings, where even though in settings I've selected "external mic if present", and having my mic receiver plugged into the phone and the mic on, OC doesn't record from it; I think it's recording from the phone's built in mic, but can't even tell that for sure.
Would it be possible to add a small text perhaps over the rec meter that shows the mic source being used?
then it's easy at a to glance to know. also, is it common that OC requires one to reselect the same "external mic" option each time the app is restarted instead of just being able to "set it and forget it"?

just to clarify, by "mic source being used" i mean we specific as possible
for example, if it's using the built in phone mic say something like "phone", or "DJI Mic Mini" if it's possible to read that value from somewhere such as the Bluetooth label for it or similar.
