1. TA shall provide an "audio/video podcast RSS link" on the TA channel page.
2. TA shall provide an "audio/video podcast RSS link" on the TA playlist page.
3. Upon request of the "audio/video podcast RSS link" data, TA shall provide podcast data in accordance with the PSP-1: The Podcast RSS Standard.
4. Upon request for audio media, TA shall provide podcast audio data utilizing ffmpeg on the fly transcoding.
5. TA shall provide podcast audio data in mp3 format.
6. TA podcasts shall be consumable by the following applications: Antenna Pod.
7. TA shall protect podcast data from unauthorized access.
8. When a podcast app sends more than one simultaneous request for podcast content, TA shall prevent simultaneous requests from negatively impacting the user experience on the main GUI.

Guidance per Simon bbilly: Step one is to have audio mode, that should be functional in the TA interface, so you can listen to audio only. This would have to be configured per channel, ideally the options would be: video only (currently), audio only, video + audio. This would give all options. Then audio only should download the mp3 directly with yt-dlp, and video + audio could use ffmpeg for post-processing to extract the audio from the video file.
