Description
Would it be possible to add an automatic, optional format conversion, perhaps using ffmpeg internally? For the OpenAI-compatible HTTP server?
Thus parakeet.cpp could accept other formats as audio/webm, audio/ogg, audio/wav, audio/mpeg, audio/mp4, audio/m4a, audio/aac, audio/flac, video/webm, video/mp4.
This would be extremely helpful since other services rarely use wav/pcm as output. Non-steaming only.

Research direction
Start at the OpenAI-compatible HTTP server entry point and trace how non-streaming audio uploads are validated and passed to parakeet.cpp. Check how optional ffmpeg integration could cover the listed audio and video MIME types, then verify that existing WAV/PCM handling remains unchanged and streaming is unaffected.
