joren cb2323bc32 feat: initial qobuz-qt source

Lightweight Qt6 desktop client for Qobuz with a Rust audio backend
(Symphonia/CPAL via staticlib FFI). Mirrors the spotify-qt layout:
toolbar with playback controls, library/context docks on the left,
tabbed search side panel on the right, queue panel, now-playing dock.

Building qobuz-qt

Dependencies

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt install -y \
    cmake \
    ninja-build \
    qt6-base-dev \
    qt6-svg-dev \
    libssl-dev \
    libasound2-dev \
    libdbus-1-dev \
    pkg-config \
    curl

# Rust toolchain
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"

Alpine Linux

sudo apk add \
    cmake \
    ninja \
    qt6-qtbase-dev \
    qt6-qtsvg-dev \
    openssl-dev \
    alsa-lib-dev \
    dbus-dev \
    pkgconf \
    curl \
    musl-dev \
    gcc \
    g++

# Rust toolchain
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source "$HOME/.cargo/env"

Note: CPAL uses ALSA on Alpine. If you prefer PipeWire/PulseAudio, install pipewire-alsa so ALSA routes through it automatically.

Arch Linux

sudo pacman -S cmake ninja qt6-base qt6-svg openssl alsa-lib rust

Fedora

sudo dnf install cmake ninja-build qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qtsvg-devel \
    openssl-devel alsa-lib-devel rust cargo

Build

cmake -B build -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(nproc)

The first build will take longer as it compiles the Rust backend via Corrosion.

Run

./build/qobuz-qt

On first launch a login dialog appears. Enter your Qobuz email and password. Credentials are stored via QSettings in the standard user config directory.

Audio Quality

Open File → Settings to choose the preferred streaming quality:

Hi-Res 24-bit/192 kHz (format 27)
Hi-Res 24-bit/96 kHz (format 7)
CD 16-bit (format 6) ← default
MP3 320 kbps (format 5)
