Fork Code: Function to extract audio from youtube + example usage

name

code content

// Helper function to extract audio from a youtube video
// and save it to a file
// 
// Note:
// - Linux/OSX/Unix only (uses .unixCmd)
// - Needs yt-dlp to be installed
// - The download procedure is synchronous
