games/Gikopoi: Audio
Gikopoipoi expects a stream to be coming from a microphone, but if you want to stream other kinds of audio (e.g.: anime, music), you need to resort to trickery if you run Windows.
A special tool, Virtual Audio Cable 1) is used to plug a virtual speaker into a virtual microphone. After installing it, you can switch your audio output to be CABLE Input (VB-Virtual Audio Cable) by clicking on your speaker icon in the bottom-right corner of your screen, clicking the device name at the top of the list, and then choosing the default option.
Choosing what microphone your browser listens to takes more meddling. This is left as an exercise to the reader.
Now that you're able to let Gikopoipoi listen to your audio, you're left with a problem: how can I listen to my audio from my own device? Thankfully, there is a solution from the same company that made V.A.C. in the way of VoiceMeeter 2). In the leftmost column, Hardware Input, select CABLE Output; on the right, for Hardware Output, pick the name of sound device you want to "eavesdrop" on the pipe you've built.
Want to fiddle around with multiple speakers & their applications' audio output in a single unified place? Your humble editor suggests EarTrumpet3), which imitates the default Windows audio manager in the task bar (when you click the speaker icon) but extends it to show all volume mixers for all speaker devices in one easy place.
Good luck and have fun!
