https://bellard.org/tsac/ responds *really nicely* to input file corruption (there's not even a checksum if you use fast mode)

see if you can spot where i deleted a byte from the compressed file. it's a bit subtle... (not)

TSAC: Very Low Bitrate Audio Compression

oh my god i patched the binary to disable the CRC check in transformer mode and it's *different* and *even better*

(here i just XOR a random hunk of the file with 0xAA)

(the crc-disabling patch is just

echo -ne "\x90\x90" | dd if=/dev/stdin of=tsac bs=1 seek=23914 conv=notrunc

)

1. encode silence in the lowest-quality mode
2. flip a single bit
-> whatever this is

So it's "hallucinating" scraps of the training material, right?
