Unable to find an entry point named 'whisper_full_default_params_by_ref' in shared library 'whisper'.

Hi y’all, thank you for working on this .NET implementation for Whisper!

I’m trying to run the “Simple” example from the repo but run into issues on macOS Ventura (ARM, M1 Pro). It appears to find the native library but can’t call it correctly.

Older Whisper.net versions (1.4.4, 1.4.3) are exhibiting the same behavior.

I figured out that I assumed the encoder file was ready to use and not a zip file that needed to be decompressed into a folder with the .mlmodelc extensions in the folder name. Now I got it to work as expected.

Maybe the documentation can be a bit clearer on this point.

Thank you!
