Description

Allow to use a stream on `.src()` so it could allow to use less memory instead of having all the file in memory on a Buffer object.

Research direction

Start by locating the `.src()` entry point and reading how archive sources are currently accepted and buffered. Review existing tests around source handling, then verify that a stream can be passed without loading the complete file into a Buffer while preserving current extraction behavior.
