TorchCodec documents 0.14-0.17 as requiring torch >= 2.11 (README table), but the 0.17.0 PyPI metadata declares no torch dependency (only requires_python >= 3.10), so pip will not enforce the documented torch pin (curator addition). Curator qualifications: FFmpeg 4-9 support, decoder/encoder API, libswresample resampling, WavDecoder RF64 rejection and audio-on-CPU statements (F0, F1, F3-F7) not reinspected; RF64 claim is an unexecuted inference. FFmpeg build licence in any environment is not established. PyPI and TorchCodec main README observed 2026-10-21 (README fetched from moving main ref). Metadata/source text only; nothing installed or run. Limitations: Metadata/source text only; nothing installed or run. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
