                 - chunk_duration : str or float or None
                     Chunk duration in s if float or with units if str (e.g. "1s", "500ms")
             * n_jobs : int | float
-                Number of jobs to use. With -1 the number of jobs is the same as number of cores.
-                Using a float between 0 and 1 will use that fraction of the total cores.

                 Context for multiprocessing. It can be None, "fork" or "spawn".
