Edits emotion on an existing recording in place (same speaker, words,
duration) rather than steering style at generation time. Demo runs
"Change the emotion to excited." on the public-domain narrator clip
already used by whisperx/tts.
Found and documented three real environment/packaging gaps on the RTX
3090: a missing audioread dependency, a huggingface_hub/transformers
version conflict from installing the hf CLI, and --cpu_offload being
mandatory (not optional) since AuK's own undoffloaded VRAM figures
exceed 24GB entirely. Also found the practical input-length ceiling is
~25-30s, not the several minutes a podcast episode would need — an 80s
clip OOM'd on attention memory even with offload enabled.
