Description

As of #349, we mandate support for converting from ANY format to f32-planar. This allows for consistent integration with WebAudio. Chrome does not currently support conversions to other formats and will throw a NotSupportedError if requested.

But @padenot raised the point that we could mandate support for other conversions. I'm open to it. @padenot, do you think folks will find it useful?

Read issue #349 and the current WebCodecs requirements for AudioSampleFormat conversion, then review the discussion about supporting conversions beyond f32-planar. The work is complete when the useful conversion requirements are agreed and the mandated support is clearly specified.
