Fix: Improve model loading and audio processing

Major changes:
- Changed device=0 to device_map="auto" for HF Spaces compatibility
- Increased audio cap from 30 to 60 seconds (Whisper may chunk internally)
- Added comprehensive error handling and debugging
- Improved response parsing with multiple fallback methods
- Added detailed error traceback for troubleshooting

This should fix issues with model not responding to queries.
