Description
Describe the bug
Exporting to OGG saves an Opus stream when I am expecting a Vorbis stream, and there are no options to change this.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to 'File'
- Click on 'Export'
- Under 'Format' choose 'OGG audio'
Expected behavior
Exports as Vorbis stream by default or give an option to do so.

Research direction
Start at File > Export and the Format option for OGG audio, then trace how the export chooses between Opus and Vorbis. Done means OGG exports use Vorbis by default or expose a way to select it; verify the behavior with a test export on MuseScore 4.
