media: PcmFrame + AudioSource/Sink + Opus codec pair

PcmFrame is the canonical tap format (16-bit mono @ 24 kHz, 480 samples
per 20 ms frame — ARCHITECTURE.md). AudioSource/AudioSink are the seam
step 2 splices the tap client into (spec §3.3); EchoAudioPipe is the
slice-1 wiring of that seam. OpusDecoder/OpusEncoder wrap the opus
crate's libopus FFI with hot-path match-and-continue (no ? on the 20 ms
loop, spec §3.8); decode/encode return Option<PcmFrame>/Option<Vec<u8>>
so a dropped frame is logged + counted, never propagated to crash the
peer.

//! # rutster-media
//!
//! The media core: str0m WebRTC termination + the Opus⇄PCM boundary
//! (spec §3). One per WebRTC peer; a `RtcSession` owns a `str0m::Rtc`
//! instance + an Opus encoder/decoder pair + an `EchoAudioPipe`
//! wiring the inbound decode path to the outbound encode path.
//!
//! ## Architecture references
//!
//! - [slice-1 spec §3](../../../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-28-slice-1-webrtc-loopback-design.md)
//! — full media-core design.
//! - [ARCHITECTURE.md](../../../docs/ARCHITECTURE.md) — fused per-call
//! vertical; the tap is the central interface; PCM tap format.
//! - [ADR-0002](../../../docs/adr/0002-north-star-and-fused-core.md) —
//! fused vertical + the in-boundary spend gate.
//!
//! ## Error handling posture (spec §3.8)
//!
//! Cold path (RTc construction, codec init): `thiserror`-derived errors + `?`.
//! Hot path (the 20 ms loop): **never** `?`. Match-and-continue. A
//! dropped packet MUST NOT terminate the peer. Policy: "drop + observe
//! (log + counter), don't crash." This is the posture the eventual fuzz
//! harness (step 5) will test against.
//!
//! ## Module map
//!
//! - [`pcm`] — `PcmFrame` + `AudioSource`/`AudioSink` traits (the tap
//! seam) + `EchoAudioPipe` (slice-1 wiring).
//! - [`opus_codec`] — `OpusDecoder`/`OpusEncoder` wrappers.
//! - [`loop_driver`] (Task 4) — the str0m poll loop on tokio.
//! - [`rtc_session`] (Task 4) — `RtcSession`, the per-peer owner.

//! # Opus ⇄ PCM codec pair (spec §3.1)
//!
//! Wraps the `opus` crate's libopus FFI into the slice-1 hot-path
//! shape: decode returns `Option<PcmFrame>` and encode returns
//! `Option<Vec<u8>>` — match-and-continue, no `?`, no error propagation
//! on the 20 ms loop (spec §3.8). A dropped frame is logged + counted;
//! the peer is NOT terminated.
//!
//! The wrapping type exists (rather than using `opus::Decoder` inline)
//! so the slice-1 `RtcSession` can hold `OpusDecoder` / `OpusEncoder`
//! as concrete types without re-stating the sample rate and channel
//! count at every call site.
