Explicitly set m4a as unsupported in
lhotse.audio.backend.LibsndfileBackend
because it does not support m4a and will not support it in observable future. This is mostly a cosmetic change to eliminate a confusing exception when working with m4a files.Set
AudioreadBackend.supports_info
toTrue
because it has aninfo
method just a line below. This is a bugfix making fallback to this backend actually work.Real world impact: fixing
Recording.from_file
for m4a files in environments wheretorchaudio
is not installed.An example of such environment would be the
nvcr.io/nvidia/nemo:24.07
container.
