In an attempt to cut down on noise introduced by int16 wav quantization, I wanted to try using float32 wav files instead.
I found that python's wave library does not understand float32, so I removed the wave library based duration code for librosa's get_duration function instead.
I was also getting a
WavFileWarning: Chunk (non-data) not understood, skipping it.
message from scipy.io.wavfile.read. I noticed that the load_wav_to_torch() function + the normalization and unsqueeze, results in the exact same format as a simple torchaudio.load(), so this code has been simplified as well.
