Feature description

I suggest adding the OGG Vorbis format to the audio format options.

Why do you want this feature?

What I like about OGG is that it offers greater flexibility in sampling rate than OPUS ( xiph/opus#43 ) and is better compatible with older devices given that it had been around for longer.

OGG Vorbis has a similar quality as AAC (M4A) at the same bitrate, which is better than MP3, but OGG isn't patent-encumbered.

Also, ASR by NLL apps had a Vorbis option for a long time.

I also suspect more devices support hardware-level Vorbis encoding than OPUS, reducing battery usage.
