feat(lambda-rs): Add audio device enumeration & playback

[vmarcella]

Summary

This PR introduces a new audio output device API to lambda-rs, enabling applications to enumerate audio output devices and play audio through callbacks. All backend-specific code is encapsulated in lambda-rs-platform. This API is still in very early phases but will be used as the foundation to build out other audio capabilities in lambda.

Changes

• Add cpal (v0.17.1) as a dependency in lambda-rs-platform for cross-platform audio support
• Implement platform-level audio device enumeration and stream creation in lambda-rs-platform::cpal
• Add application-facing audio module to lambda-rs with:
  • AudioOutputDevice handle for managing audio playback
  • AudioOutputDeviceBuilder for configuring and creating output devices
  • enumerate_output_devices() function for discovering available audio endpoints
  • AudioOutputWriter for writing samples in output callbacks
  • AudioCallbackInfo for providing stream configuration to callbacks
  • AudioError for actionable error reporting
• Add audio_sine_wave example demonstrating audio playback with a 440 Hz tone
• Add comprehensive specification document (docs/specs/audio-devices.md)
• Update docs/features.md with audio-related Cargo feature documentation

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change that fixes an issue)
• Feature (non-breaking change that adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation (updates to docs, specs, tutorials, or comments)
• Refactor (code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature)
• Performance (change that improves performance)
• Test (adding or updating tests)
• Build/CI (changes to build process or CI configuration)

Checklist

• Code follows the repository style guidelines (cargo +nightly fmt --all)
• Code passes clippy (cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings)
• Tests pass (cargo test --workspace)
• New code includes appropriate documentation
• Public API changes are documented
• Breaking changes are noted in this PR description

Testing

Commands run:

cargo build --workspace
cargo test --workspace
cargo run -p lambda-rs --example audio_sine_wave --features audio-output-device

Manual verification steps (if applicable):

1. Run the audio_sine_wave example to verify that an audible tone plays for 2 seconds
2. Verify device enumeration lists available system audio outputs with correct default marking

Screenshots/Recordings

N/A - Audio feature, verified by audible output.

Platform Testing

• macOS
• Windows
• Linux

New Cargo Features

This PR introduces the following Cargo features:

Feature	Crate	Default	Description
audio-output-device	lambda-rs	Yes	Enables audio output device enumeration and playback
audio-cpal	lambda-rs-platform	No	Internal cpal backend (activated by audio-output-device)

API Overview

// Enumerate available output deviceslet devices = enumerate_output_devices()?;// Build and play audio through the default devicelet device = AudioOutputDeviceBuilder::new().with_label("my_app").with_sample_rate(48000).with_channels(2).build_with_output_callback(|writer, info| {// Write audio samples here})?;

Pull request overview

Adds an initial, backend-agnostic audio output device API to lambda-rs (with a cpal-backed implementation in lambda-rs-platform), plus documentation and an example to validate audible playback.

Changes:

• Introduces lambda::audio facade API (device enumeration + callback-based playback) behind new audio features.
• Implements lambda_platform::cpal backend (device discovery, stream config selection, stream creation).
• Adds specs/docs and an audio_sine_wave example; updates feature documentation and locks new deps.

The stream error callback passed to build_output_stream currently ignores all runtime stream errors (|_error| { return; }), which drops potentially important diagnostics (underruns, device disconnects, etc.). Please log these errors (e.g., via logging::error!) and consider incorporating the builder label to identify the stream/device in the message. Apply this consistently to all build_output_stream invocations in this module.
