The input parameter 'vad_filter' is not being used in 'faster_whisper'

I've noticed that the 'vad_filter' parameter is being included here, but the actual condition for determining whether it's true or not is based on 'word_timestamps.'

I believe this doesn't seem logical. Can we make adjustments to this?

Hmm maybe its the existence of word_timestamps that decides the vad filter in whisper? I have never worked with whisper but thats my guess

Actually, I think the wording here should be corrected to
if vad_filter:
We actually have the parameter vad_filter, but we're not using it.
