//! Descript Audio Codec (DAC) wrapper.
//!
//! Wraps the vendored [`blazen_audio_dac_vendored::Model`] (a patched
//! fork of `candle_transformers::models::dac::Model` — see
//! `crates/blazen-audio-dac-vendored/VENDORED.md` for the rationale)
//! with a friendlier API: load the model config + safetensors weights
//! from Hugging Face Hub on demand, then `encode_pcm` / `decode_tokens`
//! against `&[f32]` / `&[u32]` slices instead of raw candle tensors.
//!
//! ## Canonical checkpoint
//!
//! The default repo is [`descript/dac_44khz`] — 44.1 kHz mono, 9 codebooks
//! of 1024 entries at the 8 kbps reference bandwidth. This is the only
//! published Descript checkpoint whose `[2, 4, 8, 8]` downsampling rates
//! match the hard-coded architecture that the vendored DAC model ships.
//! The 24 kHz checkpoint ([`descript/dac_24khz`]) uses `[2, 4, 5, 8]`
//! strides and will fail to load against `Model::new` until the
//! vendored crate parameterises the encoder/decoder rates.
//!
//! ## Encode + decode are both wired through
//!
//! The vendored DAC crate adds a public `Model::encode_to_codes` that
//! runs the encoder + the residual vector quantiser end-to-end (using
//! the same nearest-neighbour quantisation as Descript's reference
//! Python implementation in `dac/nn/quantize.py`). [`DacBackend`]
//! exposes both verbs: [`DacBackend::encode_pcm`] returns a flat
//! row-major token stream and [`DacBackend::decode_tokens`] inverts it
//! through `Model::decode_codes`. The two round-trip on a sine wave
//! within ~hop_length samples — see the live-models test below.
//!
//! [`descript/dac_44khz`]: https://huggingface.co/descript/dac_44khz
