Add a "Head-Locked Audio" toggle for Browser Windows in the Home Environment

Currently, audio from the Meta Quest Browser in the home environment is strictly world-locked (spatialized). The sound is physically anchored to the window, meaning it gets weaker if I move away and shifts between my left and right ears when I turn my head.

I would like a toggle to switch a window's audio to head-locked (direct stereo, or surround around by head). When enabled, this would bypass the 3D spatialization and play the audio exactly as if I had headphones on. The sound would remain perfectly centered, balanced, and at full volume in my ears, regardless of where I place the window in the room or where I choose to sit and look.

This would improve media playback in many situations, including when wathing something on a big browser window far away.

The toggle already exists. I'll let you figure out the "how". It can be configured for individual apps, but they must be open in the background for them to appear under the setting.
