Subject: [PATCH] Stop MatrixAudioRenderer warning on every render

The "has no matching matrix call member" warning fired on every re-render
(i.e. every active speaker update) and also for the local participant's own
track, which is never rendered here anyway. Skip local tracks and warn once
per unexpected identity.
