//! EnCodec neural audio codec wrapper.
//!
//! Wraps [`candle_transformers::models::encodec::Model`] with a friendlier
//! API: load weights from Hugging Face Hub on demand, then `encode_pcm` /
//! `decode_tokens` against `&[f32]` / `&[u32]` slices instead of raw
//! candle tensors.
//!
//! The crate's default checkpoint is `facebook/encodec_24khz` (24 kHz
//! mono). The upstream `candle_transformers` [`Config::default()`] picks
//! the highest entry in `target_bandwidths` (24 kbps), which yields
//! **32 codebooks** of 1024 entries each at a 75 Hz frame rate (computed
//! as `1000 * 24.0 / (75 * 10) = 32`). Both the encoder and decoder run
//! on the device picked by [`pick_device`]; CUDA / Metal are used
//! automatically when the matching cargo feature is enabled.
//!
//! Adapted from the official `candle-examples/examples/encodec/main.rs`
//! reference and the previous home of this code in
//! `crates/blazen-audio-candle/src/encodec.rs`.
