Precompiled webrtcvad Python 3

[LexiconCode]

This is not so much of a problem for 2.7 due to the standalone installer "Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7" or plus your precompiled version. However for Python 3 it looks like Visual Studio is required. Due to restrictions in some outside of DEV environments may not be possible for the end user to install Microsoft Python Compiler.

Ah, thanks for reminding me. I had posted a binary wheel for 2.7, back when 3 wasn't supported by KaldiAG, and had forgotten about it.

I created webrtcvad-wheels as a solution, providing wheels for pretty much everything. It should be a drop-in replacement for the original webrtcvad: just pip uninstall webrtcvad and pip install webrtcvad-wheels. It uses the same import statement.

@LexiconCode Can you try it and see if it works in various versions?

@LexiconCode Oops, my bad, should be fixed now?

Yes it is Fixed.

Great! We will still need to replace the package specification in dragonfly/elsewhere.

Sigh, As it turns out the same issue applies to pyaudio as it needs to be compiled. A unofficial precompiled version be found here

Actually, I am planning on changing to a different sound library: https://pypi.org/project/sounddevice/. I have already implemented the change and have been testing it to make sure there are no issues. I think it should work without requiring compilation.
