Byte cap (96MB) unchanged as the hard OOM bound; the wider time window only lets sparse Opus use existing memory headroom to ride out decode jitter. Diag logs pin whether the block is back-pressure or decode throughput.
Opus resolved its 48kHz context lazily on the first chunk, close()ing and rebuilding the live graph mid-decode. Move the recreate into initializeStreaming so it runs before any bytes flow; the lazy call early-returns. WAV path unchanged.
Skip the back-pressure interop poll while paused (UC5). Document complete()
draining the stash in full by design. Rename scheduler isProductionPaused to
evaluateProductionPause (latch-advancing); window exposure name unchanged.
Shared scheduler fill signal (forward water-marks + hard byte cap) pauses
the C# read loop above high-water and, for Opus, stops the demux/decode
feed so WebCodecs queues stay near-empty. Routes through the existing
cancellation discipline; releases the latch on clear/seek.
Seek now trims the lead-in so playback lands at the requested time, not the page start; decoder drain polls decodeQueueSize (bounded) instead of a single timeout. Minor cleanups.
