Auto-connect audio-record for tooca

Hello,

I’m requesting auto-connection of the audio-record interface for the snap tooca (https://snapcraft.io/tooca).

tooca is a watch-party application: people join a room to watch YouTube videos together in sync, and talk to each other over voice while watching. Voice chat is a core feature, the app is built around watching and talking at the same time, not as an optional extra.

Without auto-connection, every user has to manually run snap connect tooca:audio-record before they can speak, which breaks the first-run experience for a communication app.

The snap already declares the audio-record plug and uses it only for peer-to-peer WebRTC voice between participants in a room. Audio is sent directly between browsers and is never recorded or stored.

This matches the precedent of other communication snaps such as discord, zoom-client and skype, which have audio-record auto-connected.

Thanks!
