Fix for multi-monitor Discord screensharing
- xrandr
- ffmpeg
- v4l2loopback 0.12+
Note: Ubuntu 18.04 and below does not provide v4l2loopback 0.12, if you use older versions of Ubuntu you will need to compile from source

options:
-h, --help show help
-f, --framerate=FPS set framerate
-d, --device-number=NUM set device number
-m, --monitor-number=NUM set monitor number
-vf, --vertical-flip vertically flip the monitor capture
-hf, --horizontal-flip horizontally flip the monitor capture
-r, --resolution W:H manually set output resolution
-b, --border add border when scaling to avoid stretching
-s, --sound create virtual sink and route sound into it (requires pulseaudio)

Your screen will look mirrored for you, not others
There is a built in audio streaming feature, but it's quite experimental. It uses pulseaudio to route the audio of your microphone (or any other input) and the sound of any selected output(application) into a virtual sink which then you can select as an input in discord.
To use, pass the -s option, select the appropriate applications and sources (You have to pass a space separated list of ids, or a single id). Then, set the default recording device to be the VirtualSink Monitor and then instruct discord to record from the monitor of the VirtualSink. After this, you should disable noise cancellation and noise reduction in discord, to achieve a good quality stream.
Also note that in the current implementation, if you use this feature, you won't be able to hear the selected application(s), only the people listening to the stream. You can workaround this by using a command like: ffplay -f pulse -i default -nodisp and then changing the recorded source in pavucontrol, however you will also hear any inputs that you might have passed (so if you passed your microphone, you will hear yourself).
This is a continuation of TaPO4eg3D/discord-monitors-to-vc that uses pure bash instead of a mix of bash and python to remove the python dependency, it also adds dependency checking
