Twitch also says it can terminate an in-progress broadcast for a DMCA, though I’ve never seen or heard any stories of this happening. If you get three strikes, the ban becomes permanent. In that case you will likely get a temporary ban, a strike, and all recordings of the broadcast removed from Twitch’s servers. That being said, you can be DMCA’d and have a strike issued against you for that audio while you are still live, as the muting system can’t deal with a live broadcast. You cannot be punished for anything being muted, as that audio in your broadcast no longer exists. Twitch implements a system to protect themselves and broadcasters which automatically mutes any copyrighted material in VoDs that they think you don’t have permission to play. The DMCA comes from the copyright holder, and Twitch issues the strike to keep in compliance with the “repeat offenders” clause. Twitch (and any content platform) has a legal requirement to take down any copyrighted material posted to their service should the copyright holder claim that it is being shared without permission, and to remove repeat offenders.

While the new policy loosens its grip to an extent, Twitch is still on the hunt for "repeat infringers." The platform is determined to penalize anyone "who blatantly and egregiously infringe the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not repeat infringement has occurred." Channels that have three strikes will still be suspended, and exactly how long each penalty lasts is unclear. This grants streamers a little more breathing room so that a mistake won't necessarily be fatal to their channels, but it doesn't mean that content creators can let loose entirely. Now, when a channel receives a copyright strike, such a mark is no longer permanent. Under the " DMCA Guidelines" section of Twitch's legal page, the streaming platform has changed its policy - seemingly for the better.
