Inconsistent "Read Along" Availability on Linux/Ubuntu Desktop (Audio-only vs. Video Podcasts)

[tuankiet]

I am writing to report a bug regarding the "Read Along" feature on the Desktop application for Linux/Ubuntu.

Currently, on the iOS app, transcripts are available for all podcasts. However, on the Ubuntu desktop application, "Read Along" only works for video podcasts and is completely missing when listening to audio-only podcasts.

Because the transcript functionality is already successfully implemented and working for video podcasts on the exact same Linux build, its absence for audio-only podcasts appears to be an unintentional bug rather than a missing feature.

Transcripts are crucial for accessibility and an uninterrupted user experience. Please look into fixing this discrepancy so that audio-only podcasts have the same "Read Along" availability on the Linux desktop client as they do on mobile.
