Text is available from ashtadhyayi.com/ (I can push text files in)
One source for audio is http://surasa.net/music/samskrta-vani/ashtadhyayi.php
Another is https://www.sanskritfromhome.in/course/ashtadhyayi/ (While this one is not freely available, it is very precise and devoid of some occasional errors, thus more useful for someone trying to learn to chant/memorise)

I tried aligning both versions. I am not sure if it's my system or it's about the nature of the text, but the alignments I obtained are pretty bad.

Pushed the ashtadhyayi alignment as well. Managed to figure out why the alignment was poor, culprit being improper installation of aeneas.

Short version is,

  1. Install using pip install aeneas, not pip install py3-aeneas even if latter seems like an updated fork.
  2. Don't forget to apt-install libespeak-dev (on top of ffprobe, ffmpeg, espeak)

Thanks. I should have added these notes to the README (at least installing aeneas and the other libs). Will do that, set up a GH action and merge this PR.
