WMAEncodeRS v0.5.0

First public release of WMAEncodeRS — a command-line Windows Media Audio (and xWMA) encoder/decoder, in Rust, using the built-in Windows Media runtime (wmvcore.dll). A modern, hardened Rust port of lvqcl's WMAEncode that also natively reimplements both directions of Microsoft's xWMAEncode.

Features

• Encode WAV / raw PCM → .wma (WMA Standard / Professional / Lossless / Voice) in CBR / VBR / two-pass modes, with tagging.
• xWMA (.xwma, RIFF/XWMA for XAudio2) encode with an accurate dpds seek table.
• Bidirectional: decode .wma → WAV and .xwma → WAV.
• stdin input, stdout piping (Foobar2000-friendly), --verbose, --longhelp.
• DRM-free output; uses the same Microsoft encoder Windows itself uses.

Quality

• Memory-safe: #![deny(unsafe_code)]; all unsafe confined to the audited COM/FFI modules.
• Parsers fuzzed with cargo-fuzz (two WAV-parser robustness bugs found & fixed, regression-tested).
