Refactor the speaker detection logic into observeSpeaker and add tests (

#2814)

* Refactor the speaker detection logic into observeSpeaker and add tests

@robintown the tests pass, but some of the values were off by 1ms from what I was expecting. Please can you sanity check them?

* Extra test cases and clean up

* Make distinctUntilChanged part of the observable itself

* More suggestions from code review
