/**
 * Create and return a RecognizeStream sourcing audio from the user's microphone
 *
 * @param {Object} options - Also passed to {RecognizeStream}, and {FormatStream} when applicable
 * @param {String} options.token - Auth Token - see https://github.com/watson-developer-cloud/node-sdk#authorization
 * @param {Boolean} [options.format=true] - pipe the text through a FormatStream which performs light formatting. Also controls smart_formatting option unless explicitly set.
 * @param {Boolean} [options.keepMicrophone=false] - keeps an internal reference to the microphone stream to reuse in subsequent calls (prevents multiple permissions dialogs in firefox)
 * @param {String|DOMElement} [options.outputElement] pipe the text to a [WriteableElementStream](WritableElementStream.html) targeting the specified element. Also defaults objectMode to true to enable interim results.
 * @param {Boolean} [options.extractResults=false] pipe results through a ResultExtractor stream to simplify the objects. (Default behavior before v0.22) Requires objectMode.
 * @param {Boolean} [options.resultsBySpeaker=false] Not currently functional because microphone input provides broadband audio, but during the current beta release, speaker recognition only works on narrowband models.
 *
 * @returns {RecognizeStream|SpeakerStream|FormatStream|ResultStream}
