/**
 * Ignores source values for `duration` milliseconds, then emits the most recent
 * value from the source Observable, then repeats this process.
 *
 * <span class="informal">When it sees a source value, it ignores that plus
 * the next ones for `duration` milliseconds, and then it emits the most recent
 * value from the source.</span>
 *
 * ![](auditTime.png)
 *
 * `auditTime` is similar to `throttleTime`, but emits the last value from the
 * silenced time window, instead of the first value. `auditTime` emits the most
 * recent value from the source Observable on the output Observable as soon as
 * its internal timer becomes disabled, and ignores source values while the
 * timer is enabled. Initially, the timer is disabled. As soon as the first
 * source value arrives, the timer is enabled. After `duration` milliseconds (or
 * the time unit determined internally by the optional `scheduler`) has passed,
 * the timer is disabled, then the most recent source value is emitted on the
 * output Observable, and this process repeats for the next source value.
 * Optionally takes a {@link SchedulerLike} for managing timers.
 *
 * ## Example
 *
 * Emit clicks at a rate of at most one click per second
 * ```ts
 * import { fromEvent } from 'rxjs';
 * import { auditTime } from 'rxjs/operators';
 *
 * const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');
 * const result = clicks.pipe(auditTime(1000));
 * result.subscribe(x => console.log(x));
 * ```

 *
 * @param {number} duration Time to wait before emitting the most recent source
 * value, measured in milliseconds or the time unit determined internally
 * by the optional `scheduler`.
 * @param {SchedulerLike} [scheduler=async] The {@link SchedulerLike} to use for
 * managing the timers that handle the rate-limiting behavior.
 * @return {Observable<T>} An Observable that performs rate-limiting of
 * emissions from the source Observable.
