SentryMetrics always disabled even when Sentry is initialised

Description

Environment

• pipecat-ai version: 0.0.52
• python version: 3.10
• OS: MacOS Ventura

Issue description

I am trying to use the SentryMetrics class to monitor performance as described in the docs here. However, even though I have Sentry installed and initialised at the point of server startup, I always get this warning:

2025-01-09 09:56:01.597 | WARNING  | pipecat.processors.metrics.sentry:<module>:16 - Sentry SDK not initialized. Sentry features will be disabled.

I have confirmed that sentry is initialised using sentry_sdk.is_initialized() just before instantiating the SentryMetrics class. I think the issue is that within the SentryMetrics class itself, the check to see whether Sentry is active occurs as soon as it is imported, not instantiated. As it is not a property of the class itself, it is impossible to change manually:

try:
    import sentry_sdk

    sentry_available = sentry_sdk.is_initialized()
    if not sentry_available:
        logger.warning("Sentry SDK not initialized. Sentry features will be disabled.")
except ImportError:
    sentry_available = False
    logger.warning("Sentry SDK not installed. Sentry features will be disabled.")

from pipecat.processors.metrics.frame_processor_metrics import FrameProcessorMetrics

Repro steps

• Initiate sentry using sentry_sdk.init()
• Set SentryMetrics as the _metrics property within a FrameProcessor class
• Warning appears in logs

Expected behavior

SentryMetrics should check Sentry initialisation at the point of being instantiated

Actual behavior

Checks behaviour too early and is always disabled

I have also met this problem before, than I moved the code before import pipecat, it works now, here is my code:

import sentry_sdk
from sentry_sdk.integrations.asyncio import AsyncioIntegration
from sentry_sdk.integrations.httpx import HttpxIntegration
sentry_sdk.init(
    dsn=os.getenv("SENTRY_DSN"),
    traces_sample_rate=1.0,
    enable_tracing=True,
    disabled_integrations=[HttpxIntegration()],
    integrations=[
        AsyncioIntegration(),
    ],
)

from pipecat.frames.frames import (
    EndFrame,
