--- Comment #5 from Michael Dale <[email protected]> ---
For the first phase of this bug, I think we should just support ingestion of 
wav files. I don't think we should not add wav as a transcode target.  

This is useful for browser audio recording ( Rahul21 SOC project:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Rahul21/Gsoc  ), helps commons be more of
an archive and high bitrate is probably fine for the initial target of in
browser recording of pronunciation.

Since FLAC is loss-less, we could convert to that in the back-end if .wav file
storage ever becomes an issue. Ideally the end user would upload in FLAC, but a
common ingestion format will probably be AAC given mobile capture and upload
support. But we can cross that bridge in a different bug. 

For users playing content they should almost always use the .oga or future
lossy compressed formats that we target.    

This bug, involves adding a wavMediaHandler to TMH, then TMH will automatically
transcode to oga from the wav file. We could add additional targets FLAC, mp3
etc in the future.
