Audio starts playing from the beginning when Undo/Redo Audio Source changes in Play Mode
To reproduce:
* Download the "Terrible Tweeters - Audio.zip" project and open it in Unity;
* Open the "Level1" scene;
* Select the "Music" gameObject in the Hierarchy;
* Enter Play mode;
* Observe that the Audio starts playing;
* In the "Music" gameObject Audio Source modify the Volume Slider;
* Observe that the Volume of the Audio decreases
* Undo your change
Expected result: Audio Volume restores to the previous value and Audio continues playing;
Actual result: Audio Volume restores to the previous value and Audio starts playing from the beginning;
Notes:
* This issue happens with Redo too;

Resolution Note:
The undo system changed behavior in 2022.1 in that it now activates and deactivates game objects. Undo basically takes a backup of the objects before and after a change. Since the backup can potentially reorder the transform hierarchy, it is necessary to deactivate before backup restoration, then activate again.
This change was necessary to fix a large class of undo bugs. Worst cases were ones where subtle changes were introduced in the scene causing the scene files to include bad data, causing a crash the next time you would load the scene. If the user was able to figure out what was happening and be able to revert the scene in version control then great, only a few hours of work would be lost. Worst case, users would have to redo the entire scene
It is also the exact behavior as what happens when changes to a prefab is applied to an instance in the scene, so it is more aligned to other functionality in the Unity editor.
So, restoring the previous behavior for audio only would misalign with the general behavior across the engine.
