Whisper microphone example: do not repeatedly acquire and release the microphone

Changes

• The input stream from the microphone is built once in the thread that handles it.
• Inside the loop block, the stream is played and paused for the defined duration (300ms) to capture the pcm data.
• The iter::repeat(()).enumerate() to keep track of the inference iteration is replaced with a simple 0.. range.

@lavafroth did you have any luck actually getting useful outputs after your change? I can see the reaquiring issue (almost) solved, some flickering on microphone access visible in xfce taskbar but in pulseaudio (pavucontrol) I can see that the recording device is not re acquired repeatingly .

I'm asking since the mic example does not work for others (see referenced issue) from @krzytofwos

I have a pretty low end machine but yes it works better than the previous iteration. 😇
