When wake word detection and transcription each call getUserMedia, the device is reopened every time you switch between them. That can take hundreds of milliseconds, and what is said meanwhile is lost. shared-microphone opens the device once and shares its audio frames with every consumer. The same request never opens a second device, one listener throwing doesn't stop the others, and it works around device quirks found on real hardware. No dependencies.
