The french subset of the dataset [Multilingual TEDx](https://www.openslr.org/100). The data uploaded to HF corresponds to the directory fr-fr. The audio files are automatically resampled to 16 kHz.

#### Configs:
- single_samples (default): all samples taken separately
- max=30s: combine consecutive samples for a period shorter than 30 seconds
- max=10s: combine consecutive samples for a period shorter than 10 seconds
- max: combine all the samples of a TEDx talk


#### dependencies (only needed for much faster audio decoding):
 - ffmpeg: apt install ffmpeg
 - ffmpeg-python: pip install ffmpeg-python

#### Sample
