"""
Language Identification (LID) demo using the FireRedLID model on vLLM.

FireRedLID is an audio encoder-decoder model that identifies the spoken
language of an audio clip. Unlike ASR models that output full transcriptions,
FireRedLID outputs at most 2 tokens representing the detected language
(e.g. "en", "zh mandarin").

Start the vLLM server:

    vllm serve PatchyTisa/FireRedLID-vllm

Then run this script:

    # Use the built-in sample audio
    python examples/online_serving/openai_lid_client.py

    # Use your own audio file(s)
    python examples/online_serving/openai_lid_client.py \
        --audio_paths audio_en.wav audio_zh.wav audio_fr.wav

    # Batch-identify multiple files in one run
    python examples/online_serving/openai_lid_client.py \
        --audio_paths /path/to/dir/*.wav

Requirements:
- vLLM with audio support
- openai Python SDK
- kaldi_native_fbank (pulled in by the model)
