accept other audio formats for AudioTaskView #302

Open sdumetz opened 2 months ago

AudioTaskView currently only accepts mp3 audio uploads. While this is the only compressed audio format that has 100% support (source: caniuse.com across browsers, some tools (eg: apple's audio recorder) now defaults to more modern formats.

I propose a softer requirement where partially-supported formats would just trigger an alert though I'll understand if you want to keep stricter requirements.

Yes, the support aspect is why we limited it originally. I will talk to my team and see about opening it up. I generally don't like the idea of supporting content that can ultimately make it look like things are broken, but I understand the need as things have moved beyond mp3.
