Replace in-memory LC3 file loading with streaming byte generator to reduce memory usage

Refactors LC3 file handling to stream frames byte-by-byte from disk instead of loading the entire file into memory. Adds _lc3_file_byte_gen generator function that skips the 18-byte LC3 header, reads frame size headers, and yields individual bytes with optional looping. Removes read_lc3_file usage and itertools.cycle approach in favor of the new streaming generator.
