### Bug Summary
When exporting, typing in an extension-less filename always results in a WAV export regardless of the selected filetype.
### Expected Behaviour
It should follow the selected filetype.
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Press `Ctrl+E` or go to `File > Export...`
2. Type an extension-less filename on the dialog that appears, and select a file format that isn't `wav`.
3. Click `save`
4. The export dialog filetype will go to `wav`.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through File > Export or Ctrl+E on Linux, using an extension-less filename and a non-WAV format. Trace the export dialog's filename and filetype handling to find why saving resets the selection to WAV. Done means an extension-less export preserves the selected filetype and the reproduction steps no longer show WAV unexpectedly.
