Allow users to choose a format for audio recordings #1580

Presently, The Combine records audio as a .webm file using the aflt codec, which plays in Brave, Chrome, Edge, and IE, but not in Firefox (98) or Geckofx (the Firefox-based browser embedded in FieldWorks and other SIL apps). This means audio imported from The Combine cannot be played in the FieldWorks Dictionary view (https://jira.sil.org/browse/LT-20864). FieldWorks supports the following sound file extensions: wav, snd, au, aif, aifc, aiff, mp3, wma
