ValueError: av.frame.Frame size changed, may indicate binary incompatibility

[lmaddox]

Not sure if this error is with PyAV (i.e., it's fixed in later versions) or with faster-whisper (i.e., they need to update their deps)

Expected behavior: not have ABI errors
Actual behavior: has ABI errors

Traceback:

Reproduction

python -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
pip install RealtimeSTT
cat > PoC.py << 'EOF'
#! /usr/bin/env python

from RealtimeSTT import AudioToTextRecorder

def process_text(text):
    print (text)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    with AudioToTextRecorder(wake_words="jarvis",) as recorder:
        while True:
            recorder.text(process_text)

• I am/tried using the binary wheels
  dist/av-12.3.0-cp312-cp312-manylinux_2_17_x86_64.manylinux2014_x86_64.whl
• I compiled from source
  also yes, but version > 12 not supported

Research

I have done the following:

• web search

Additional context

Probably gonna use a docker image anyway

We don't support version 12 or older. Make a bug report to the package you're directly using.
