Subject: [PATCH] test(sounds): use realm-safe Uint8Array check (TextEncoder vs
 jsdom)

vitest+jsdom puts test code in a different realm than Node's TextEncoder,
so `toBeInstanceOf(Uint8Array)` rejects the encoder's return value even
though it is structurally a Uint8Array. `Object.prototype.toString.call`
checks the @@toStringTag tag, which is realm-safe.
