Description

In order to be as minimalistic as possible, it would be nice to avoid having dr_wav.h in the project. We use it for a very small subset of functionality - to read 16-bit PCM audio. It should be easy to implement it from scratch.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how dr wav.h is used in the project, particularly the 16 bit PCM reading functions. Implement a minimal replacement using standard C/C++ file I/O and handle the WAV file format (RIFF header). Ensure the new implementation matches the existing behavior and passes all tests.
