AI Summary
Torchaudio has been demoted from a required dependency to an optional one, requiring users to explicitly install a backend like torchaudio or torchcodec for audio I/O operations.
Key Highlights
- Torchaudio is now an optional dependency
- Added support for torchcodec backend
- Fixed `import silero_vad` failure when onnxruntime is missing
- Lazy loading of sequence path to improve imports
Breaking Changes
- `read_audio` / `save_audio` now raise an error if neither torchaudio nor torchcodec is installed
New Features
- Support for torchaudio and torchcodec backends
- Explicit backend installation requirements
Full Release Notes
torchaudio is now an optional dependency instead of required. Only torch is required — the model itself never used torchaudio, only the `read_audio` / `save_audio` helpers did. Users who need audio I/O must now install a backend explicitly: - `pip install silero-vad[audio]` (torchaudio) - `pip install silero-vad[codec]` (torchcodec) - `pip install silero-vad[all]` (everything) Key changes: - `read_audio` / `save_audio` now work with either torchaudio or torchcodec; with neither installed they raise an error naming the extra to install - Fixed: `import silero_vad` failed when onnxruntime was not installed — the sequence path is now imported lazily - numpy is now declared in [onnx-cpu] / [onnx-gpu] If you load audio yourself, no backend is needed at all: ```python3 from silero_vad import load_silero_vad, get_speech_timestamps model = load_silero_vad() audio = ... # 1-D float32 torch.Tensor from any source ts = get_speech_timestamps(audio, model, return_seconds=True) ```
