torchcodec default version mismatch with torch causes installation error when using uv

[kento2247]

When installing torchcodec via uv, the default resolved version is torchcodec==0.9, which targets PyTorch 2.9.
This causes installation or runtime errors if the project is using an older PyTorch version.

In my case, the error occurs with the following steps:

uv add https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam-audio.git

This pulls in torchcodec==0.9 by default, which is incompatible with my installed PyTorch version.

A workaround is to explicitly install a torch-compatible version of torchcodec:

uv add torchcodec==<version compatible with installed torch>

This resolves the issue.
Is there a better or recommended way to handle this version compatibility?
