** Description
Youtube has introduced for some time now the Stable Volume feature. This is being done by providing a seperate DRC (Dynamic Range Compression) audio stream that you can switch to instead of the normal audio stream.

For example in yt-dlp, opus codec max bitrate has a itag of 251, but there is also a itag called 251-drc.
It is very useful for content with pourly recorded audio or too much fluctuation, which is very common.

Sometimes (not very common but still a possibility) i find videos that do not have the drc audio stream, so in that case trying to find a stream with a -drc itag will fail. In that case a message saying "Stable Volume not available for this video" might be a good choice.
