//! The LTX-2.5 audio path: the spectrogram VAE decoder and the BigVGAN
//! vocoder that turns its output into a waveform.
//!
//! The transformer denoises sound in the same 48 blocks as the picture, so
//! the soundtrack arrives as a `[8, T, 16]` latent. Turning that into audio
//! is two models:
//!
//! 1. **The audio VAE decoder** — 2-D convolutions over (time, mel bin) with
//!    PixelNorm and *height-causal* padding, so a frame never sees the
//!    future. Two mid blocks, then three levels of three residual blocks
//!    with a nearest ×2 between them; the first row after each upsample is
//!    dropped, because the causal padding on the following convolution
//!    already accounts for it. Out comes a 64-bin log-mel spectrogram.
//! 2. **BigVGAN v2 with bandwidth extension** — `conv_pre`, six transposed
//!    convolutions each followed by three anti-aliased multi-receptive-field
//!    blocks whose outputs are averaged, and `conv_post`. Every activation is
//!    a SnakeBeta sandwiched between a ×2 sinc upsample and a ×2 sinc
//!    downsample, which is what keeps the harmonics it generates from
//!    aliasing. That gives 16 kHz stereo; a second generator predicts a
//!    residual from its mel spectrogram and adds it to a sinc-resampled copy
//!    at 48 kHz.
//!
//! Everything is f32 throughout: the reference notes that bf16 accumulation
//! through 108 sequential convolutions costs 40-90 % on spectral metrics.
