Since torchaudio 2.8, torchaudio.load routes through torchcodec, an optional dependency that is often not installed. This makes load_wav fail with an ImportError on otherwise working setups. Read the file directly with soundfile and fall back to torchaudio only if that fails. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
load_wav calls torchaudio.load, which since torchaudio 2.8 routes through torchcodec — an optional dependency frequently not installed. On such setups load_wav fails with an ImportError before any inference runs.
This reads the file directly with soundfile and falls back to torchaudio only if that fails.
