Description
Your idea
IMHO the "Expand repeats" option should be available to all audio formats.
Currently it is available only for MIDI, it'd be useful for mp3, wav, ogg too though.
Actually this is the default (and only) setting for audio formats already, so such an option should allow to disable this.
Problem to be solved
Currently you'd have to temporarily change the score by using the button to disable playback of repeats before the audio export, and revert that change after, along with the danger to forget that.

Research direction
Start by tracing how the existing "Expand repeats" setting is handled for MIDI export and how audio formats such as mp3, wav, and ogg currently process repeats. Done means the option is available for all listed audio formats, can disable their default repeat expansion, and avoids requiring a temporary score change.
