fix(lotus): soundboard says "not permitted" in audio-only rooms instead of failing silently (#47)

Clips publish as an Unknown-source track. In audio-only rooms the guard
signs a microphone-only token, LiveKit refuses the publish, and since
the fork had already replied {} the host never heard. Check the grants
up front and reply { played: false, reason: "not_permitted" }.
