Browser: Revert to MEMFS and transfer ownership of Transferable objects

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As mentioned by me in #8, IndexedDB has some strong limitations with regard to the size of individual items. This makes it impossible to work with files larger than 133 MB (Chrome) or 267 MB (Firefox).

Describe the solution you’d like As hinted by @LucCADORET in the same issue, reverting to MEMFS and transferring the ownership of the Transferable objects (ArrayBuffer) by additionally passing them as the second parameter (transfer) of Worker.postMessage() should solve this problem:

worker.postMessage(message, arrayBuffersContainedInMessage);

Describe alternatives you’ve considered I don’t know of any alternative solution.

Additional context (None for now.)

@IliasHad Maybe you could also read the large file in chunks, similar to how Jerome implemented transcoding of a live stream here.
