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
```bash
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 "$HOME/.cargo/env"
```
### Alpine Linux
```bash
sudo apk add \
cmake \
ninja \
qt6-qtbase-dev \
qt6-qtsvg-dev \
openssl-dev \
alsa-lib-dev \
dbus-dev \
pkgconf \
curl \
musl-dev \
gcc \
g++
# Rust toolchain
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
source "$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
```bash
sudo pacman -S cmake ninja qt6-base qt6-svg openssl alsa-lib rust
```
### Fedora
```bash
sudo dnf install cmake ninja-build qt6-qtbase-devel qt6-qtsvg-devel \
openssl-devel alsa-lib-devel rust cargo
```
## Build
```bash
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](https://github.com/corrosion-rs/corrosion).
## Run
```bash
./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)
