feat: known-good CPU audio + 1080p VAAPI + KMS display wall

Working snapshot before the OpenVINO MetricGAN GPU spike:
thread-capped SpeechBrain DelaySum+MetricGAN on CPU, hop 200 ms,
video hold for A/V sync, Arc VAAPI H.264, headless kmssink wall.
32 tests passing. Do not treat this as a GPU audio path.
