Stream toggle greyed out if music url has text next to it.

After more than 11 years working perfectly fine for EVERY single SL Viewer out there, including the official SL viewer, it has suddenly been changed in JUST the SL viewer. Since there's no way to label stream URLs in the drop down list, I've always labeled them by putting 2 spaces after the URL and then a label in (brackets). This has always worked for everyone. I've done 3200+ shows over the past 11 years and no-one has ever had an issue. One of my biggest fans just recently could no longer toggle my stream on. We had help from VIOLA LINDEN and the 3 of us brainstormed and figured out that if I removed the text label, now the SL viewer will be able to toggle the stream on. I'm requesting that this recent change be reverted such that the SL viewer simply reads the music URL until the first SPACE is encountered and then stops reading it, and then connects. This is how it works on every other viewer. To have the SL viewer suddenly stop being able to do this is extremely detrimental to thousands and thousands of performers in SL. Please change it back.

URL's by IETF standard cannot contain a space unless it is 'escaped' by a control character (&20;), so an un-escaped space can and indeed should be used as a delimiter.

This bug only appears to reproduce on viewers using the OpenAL audio driver.
Bug does not reproduce on Firestorm, which still uses FMOD Studio.
The audio driver was switched to OpenAL in Atlasaurus (where the bug reproduces) - https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/7.1.9.10515727195.html
The bug does not reproduce in the LL Featurettes viewer, which still used FMOD Studio.
Note that on Firestorm Viewer, we can store multiple parcel music stream URLs in a drop down list & easily switch between then, which is why users will label their music URLs.
This has always worked until some viewers switched to OpenAL

Thanks Jeffah24,
We also did not know this feature existed. It seems this issue has been around since the introduction of OpenAL which replaced FMOD a few releases ago. FS did not make this change.
This is now being tracked here: https://github.com/secondlife/viewer/issues/3564

I did not know that trick and am glad to learn it, so i really hope the feature is restored
