I might be missing something obvious, but it's not clear to me how to get an mp3 out of this on Ubuntu 22.04.
Following the docs, `./tsac c myfile.mp3 myfile.tsac` generates a tsac file that's unplayable with mpv. Trying ffmpeg to convert to mp3 didn't work: `ffmpeg -i myfile.tsac compressed.mp3` ("myfile.tsac: Invalid data found when processing input"). Using a wav input file has the same result.
I can use `./tsac d myfile.tsac output.wav` (I don't really want to decompress anything, but worth a try) but then after compressing `output.wav` with `ffmpeg -i output.wav output.mp3`, output.mp3 is the same size as if I hadn't used tsac (of course). If I use ffmpeg with a low bitrate like `-b:a 16k`, I get the usual low-quality gargle rather than the tsac output.
