In fact the thing I was going to suggest adding to the list was "A way to separate audio from game announcers and field sounds from music", as this has been one of the biggest issues when running our event streams. Thankfully, basically any sound board with an auxiliary output (that can be individually adjusted on each channel) will have this capability, but it's something you have to be aware of when you're planning.

Streaming on Youtube is obviously economical, but I think it should be avoided by any FRC stream because there is a chance of the audio getting shut down. Livestream.com and Twitch are better alternatives, however the former does cost money. The music is usually an important part of the production, taking it away from the stream just hurts the end quality of the production.
In terms of archives, if you could record a version without the music that would be ideal, but that isn't always possible, so if the audio has to be taken out of the video you can do so quite easily with FFMPEG. The video itself is more important than what the GA/MC are saying.
