Description

🚀 The feature

GPU audio decoding at least for some codecs is useful for wider usage of compressed audio for training ASR models.

Maybe some neural codecs (I think Google open-sourced some neural codecs) would be more amenable to batched GPU decoding and integration into models directly.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named; begin by clarifying the intended codecs, batching behavior, and CPU/GPU scope. Done would require an agreed feature scope and validation criteria for batched audio decoding or encoding.
