Sounds like the upstream version is not compatible with the rest of your 
system.

I don't know enough about torchaudio to say how much this influences the 
usage of it but I can imagine that others run into the same problem. 
Given that you would need to load a version from elsewhere I mark this 
as minor and wontfix, Feel free to change if you think this is not 
appropriate.
