Description
### Requirements
- [x] I have searched the existing issues to ensure this feature has not already been requested.
- [x] I have clearly described the problem and the proposed solution.
- [x] I have considered alternative solutions.
### 1. Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I noticed that it currently lacks unit tests, which makes it a bit challenging to confidently extend, refactor, or verify the behavior of core components.
### 2. Describe the Solution You'd Like
It would be wonderful to have some foundational unit tests in place for key components, even if minimal, to establish a baseline. The main goal is to test critical components and make the architecture more testable if necessary. I am happy to help by submitting initial tests for review when I have time :)
### 3. Describe Alternatives You've Considered
I considered writing only integration tests by running a sample app and observing behavior, but these tests are slower and don't easily catch small logic bugs or regressions.
### 4. Proposed API (if applicable)
No new public API needed. Suggest adding `SoundFlow.UnitTests` and `SoundFlow.IntegrationTests` projects. Minor internal refactoring to support DI and mocking as needed.
### 5. Benefits
Improves code quality, eases contributions, and reduces bugs. It also might helps ensure robust handling of edge cases in audio processing.
### 6. Potential Drawbacks/Challenges
- Some effort may be needed to make parts of the code more testable.
- Testing audio processing can be complex and may require mocks or utilities for verifying stream content.
- Maintaining tests does introduce some overhead, though the long-term benefits usually outweigh this.
### 7. Additional Context
Projects like [NAudio](https://github.com/naudio/NAudio/tree/master/NAudioTests) offer some inspiration in terms of structure and testability. I’d love to see SoundFlow take a similar path, even with a modest starting point for tests.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository structure and identifying the core components that lack coverage. Define the proposed SoundFlow.UnitTests and SoundFlow.IntegrationTests projects, then establish a small baseline of unit and integration tests for critical audio-processing behavior. Done means the projects are runnable, core behavior has regression coverage, and any required testability changes are documented and reviewable.
