Both audio/flac and audio/l16 MIME types are supported. If you use the audio/l16 MIME type, specify the rate and channels. For example, "audio/l16; rate=48000; channels=2". Ensure that the rate matches the rate at which the audio is captured.

Streaming is required for audio longer than 4MB. Streaming limit is 1 GB.
