audio.cpp 0.5 adds DramaBox TTS, Confucius4 voice transfer, and AMD GPU support

The audio.cpp project has released version 0.5, introducing significant updates to its text-to-speech (TTS) and voice transfer capabilities. A key highlight is DramaBox, a new model designed for prompt-directed voice acting with control over emotion and delivery. The release also features Confucius4-TTS for cross-lingual voice transfer and integrates several other models and ASR systems. Enhancements to platform support include early HIP/ROCm compatibility for AMD GPUs and performance improvements for Apple Silicon, alongside better live streaming and ingest features. AI

IMPACT Enhances local audio inference capabilities with new expressive TTS and cross-lingual voice transfer models.
