[minor] FFmpeg blocks node from exiting

See original GitHub issue

It seems like basic creation of a prism.FFmpeg stream makes node to think it should wait.

// ...
const transcoderStream = new prism.FFmpeg({
   args: ['-i', '-', '-f', 's16le', '-ar', '16000', '-channel_layout', 'mono'],
});
// ...

When launched, it’s continuing to wait upon finishing everything else.

Running it with wtfnode:

$ wtfnode script.js

results to:

...
[WTF Node?] open handles:
- File descriptors: (note: stdio always exists)
  - fd 2 (tty) (stdio)
  - fd 1 (tty) (stdio)
- Child processes
  - PID 24331
    - Entry point: /projects/custom/ts-zello/node_modules/prism-media/src/core/FFmpeg.js:156
    - STDIO file descriptors: 22, 24, 26
