Summary

Fixes #359.

The speaker metadata in pyroomacoustics/datasets/cmu_arctic.py was out of sync with the official festvox listing at http://festvox.org/cmu_arctic/. This PR corrects the discrepancies:

Speaker Field Before After (festvox)
fem accent Irish German
rxr accent Dutch Israeli
slp sex female male

The official page lists US English (German) fem (male), US English (Israeli) rxr (male), and US English (Indian) slp (male). The slp speaker being male is also confirmed by the per-speaker festvox pages (e.g. it is grouped with the other Indian English male speakers ksp/aup/gka).

Changes

  • Update accent tags for fem and rxr, and correct the sex of slp in cmu_arctic_speakers.
  • Add a changelog entry under Unreleased -> Fixed.

Test plan

  • cmu_arctic.py still parses/imports without error.
  • No functional/runtime behavior changes; this is a metadata correction only.

Update accents for fem (Irish -> German) and rxr (Dutch -> Israeli), and
correct the sex of slp (female -> male), per http://festvox.org/cmu_arctic/.

Fixes LCAV#359
