Migrate the .beam container to SQLite and stream media from it instead of
decoding whole files into RAM on import/load.
Container & large files:
- SQLite .beam container (beam_archive) with in-place transactional saves and an
incremental BlobReader; supports both packed (chunked blobs) and referenced
(external path) media, with a user preference + first-import prompt for files
over the large-media threshold.
Audio streaming:
- Stream packed compressed audio on load via an inversion-of-control blob factory
(AudioBlobSourceFactory): daw-backend defines the trait, core implements it
over BlobReader, so the audio engine stays container-agnostic.
- Bulk-activate disk streaming for all loaded clips after SetProject.
- Sample-accurate compressed seek (SeekMode::Accurate; Coarse mislands on VBR).
Video:
- Video frames decoded/streamed on demand; thumbnails generated asynchronously
on a dedicated decoder so import/load never blocks the UI.
- The video's audio track is streamed on demand via an ffmpeg VideoAudioReader
as a separate editable AudioClip (no /tmp WAV extraction).
Waveform overview:
- Streaming min/max LOD pyramid (waveform_pyramid), bounded memory, configurable
floor B; serialized into the container and restored on load (or generated in
the background from the packed blob when absent), so no re-decode on reload.
- GPU min/max upload path; integer-LOD textureLoad fixes zoom-dependent wobble.
