Subject: [PATCH] Fix torchaudio.load() Path compatibility issue

Convert Path object to string before passing to torchaudio.load()
to fix compatibility with torchaudio backends that expect string paths.

Fixes RuntimeError: "Expected a value of type 'str' for argument '0'
but instead found type 'PosixPath'"

Fixes #92
