 # Linux-only: WebRTC AEC3 (Audio Processing Module) bindings for the
-# `linux-aec` feature. The `bundled` sub-feature of webrtc-audio-processing
-# statically compiles the vendored PulseAudio webrtc-audio-processing C++
-# sources via meson + ninja at cargo build time, avoiding Debian Bookworm's
-# stale system libwebrtc-audio-processing-dev 0.3 package (which predates
-# AEC3). Produces a self-contained static link — no runtime .so dep, same
-# algorithm on every Linux distro.

+# We pull from git (not crates.io) because the crates.io tarball of
+# webrtc-audio-processing-sys 2.0.3 does NOT include the vendored C++
+# submodule contents ("Directory does not contain a valid build tree"),
+# and cargo clones git deps with submodules auto-initialized since ~1.27,
+# so the git path gives us a complete source tree that bundled-mode can
+# build. Pinned to tag v2.0.3 for reproducibility.
