CVE-2026-54233: Python Audio Decompression Bomb

Unbounded audio decoding detected. An attacker can provide a highly compressed audio file (decompression bomb) that expands into gigabytes of raw PCM data, leading to memory exhaustion and Denial of Service. Limit the maximal amount of frames, samples, or duration decoded, and exit early if limits are exceeded.
