Changed

• 💥 Instead of stopping AudioContext after all pending utterances are finished, the AudioContext is now persisted. If this is not desirable in your application and would like to control the lifetime of AudioContext object, please create your own instance and pass it as an option named audioContext when creating the ponyfill
• 💥 createSpeechServicesPonyfill function is no longer asynchronous
  • Immediate after the ponyfill is created, we will fetch voice list from the services and emit voiceschanged event on completion
