Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.4.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-09-09 22:58, hash: 352d55b1c8
Worked: don't know

Short description of error
i moved some audio files after doing a video inside blender and expected to reconnect them with "find missing files", but there wasn't any way to connect the audio files back as blender didn't take into account sound files for some reason, haven't tried sequences or video, i just moved some sound effects anyway

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open the video editor and add any wav or mp3
save and close blender
move the file somewhere else
open again and try to use find missing files
it doesn't work

It seems the operator works correctly and finds the new path, but the sound strip is in a bad state somehow and needs to be tagged for an update or something similar.
Changing the source path of the sound to the same path by clicking on the field and pressing enter with no changes make the sound strip work again.

The issue seems to be deeper than the VSE and sound. The "Find Missing Files" operator modifies paths but does not inform the dependency graph about it. I think good solution would be to somehow tag modified IDs with ID_RECALC_SOURCE.

This is a generic file path handling code in the Core. Would be nice to have input from @mont29 to move forward with implementing the tag.

Indeed depsgraph should be made aware of such changes, will check if I can come with a patch here.
