Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the Python TTS client’s audio-encoding options and comparing them with the existing ASR MULAW support; the work is done when TTS accepts MULAW output for the relevant Riva API path and coverage verifies it.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It has come to attention that NVIDIA Riva's text-to-speech (TTS) functionality does not support MULAW as an audio encoding format, while automatic speech recognition (ASR) does support this encoding. Incorporating MULAW support into TTS would streamline development for telephony applications by aligning audio input and output under a common standard and reducing the need for format conversion.

Thank you for considering this integration.
