Per-worker OpenVINO CPU runs the MetricGAN BLSTM mask; SpeechBrain
keeps STFT/ISTFT. ENHANCE_INFER=auto with torch fallback. Hop is
0.1 s after isolated last_ms ~6 ms (model+ov+beamform).
Arc B580 lost the kill test: batch-14 mask p50 103 ms vs Torch CPU
70 ms enhance / OpenVINO CPU 5 ms. Production stays on known-good
CPU workers (tag known-good-cpu-2026-08-28). Hop stays 200 ms.
Working snapshot before the OpenVINO MetricGAN GPU spike:
thread-capped SpeechBrain DelaySum+MetricGAN on CPU, hop 200 ms,
video hold for A/V sync, Arc VAAPI H.264, headless kmssink wall.
32 tests passing. Do not treat this as a GPU audio path.
Keep C920 stereo through SpeechBrain GCC-PHAT Delay-and-Sum, then
MetricGAN, and publish mono to LiveKit. Record last_dt_ms and log
process_ms/capture_ms every 50 hops for the latency plan.
