This commit introduces a new audio conversion tool that uses pyav to convert audio files to the wave format. pyav bundles it's own version of ffmpeg, thus, we don't need to ship our own (outdated) version. In addition, pyav is already a dependency of faster-whisper, thus no real new dependencies are introduced.

Maybe it's best to merge #230 before, so tests can run properly. |

This has the following advantage:
Tested the current changes with:
Unfortunately, I couldn't test whether cancelling an audio file conversion works properly. Conversion was so fast, that I never managed to press fast enough "cancel". Maybe you have a long enough audio file to test that?
Maybe it's safer to merge this after the new release. This way, the changes can be tested over a longer time.
