> So I guess you are telling me that I am not able to run OBS studio.

OBS Studio has libfdk-aac0, which is a proprietary package, as a required 
dependency. However, the only purpose of this package is to support the AAC 
audio format. There are other, freer formats than AAC such as Vorbis and Opus, 
so if OBS Studio supports such formats then it's likely that OBS Studio could 
still be useable without AAC support.

To try this, we'll need to download and modify the .deb package so that it no 
longer tries to install libfdk-aac0, and then install from that .deb file with 
dpkg instead of apt. This will require us to install dependencies manually, so 
first run

$ apt-depends obs-studio

This will print all dependencies of obs-studio. Install all of them except for 
libfdk-aac0.

Then, run

$ apt download obs-studio 
$ tar x obs-studio*.deb
$ tar -xzf control.tar.gz
$ sed -e s/"libfdk-aac0 (>= 0.1.1), "//g -i control
$ tar -cvzf control.tar.gz control
$ ar rcs newpackage.deb debian-binary control.tar.gz data.tar.xz
$ sudo dpkg -i newpackage.deb

If it installs without any errors, run it and see if it works. If so, it might 
be worth contacting the developers and asking them to make libfdk-aac0 a 
"suggested" dependency instead of a "required" one. That would make it easier 
to install obs-studio while avoiding libfdk-aac0.
