termux-microphone-record: cannot record into fifo or block device files

[BasedUser]

Problem description termux-microphone-record isn't capable of writing to nonstandard files. This is caused by MicRecorderAPI.java:254 checking if the target file exists, which for fifos and block devices under current file handling, it does.

Steps to reproduce

mkfifo myFifo
termux-microphone-record -f myFifo # File: myFifo already exists! Please specify a different filename

termux-microphone-record -f /dev/stdout # File: stdout already exists! Please specify a different filename

Expected behavior The module should be able to write to fifo/block device files. This would also allow directly processing output using other applications, as well as streaming over the network.
