appreciate your hard work

The correct SRT result (using commit fbcf58b, which is before the huge PR #856): [01.old.srt.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17751733/01.old.srt.zip)

The wrong SRT result (using latest commit 85e61ea): [01.new.srt.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17751755/01.new.srt.zip)

I am **not** using the batch version

```python
model = faster_whisper.WhisperModel(
    model_size_or_path='large-v2',
    device='cuda',
    cpu_threads=4,
)
model.transcribe(
    audio=audio,
    language=None,
    task='transcribe',
    vad_filter=False,
    initial_prompt=None,
    word_timestamps=True,
    repetition_penalty=1.0,
)
```

some segments on the left (wrong) has 1 second mismatch (shift +1s) than the right (correct)

I also test on the commit of RP #856 (eb839023), which is worse
