mp3 should be the automatic file extension type

[RustoMCSpit]

Describe the solution you'd like
on first open of the app ask the user to input desired file extension and clarify that m4a isnt foss

Describe alternatives you've considered
just make mp3 the default until flac is integrated / opus is fixed

whats needs triage mean?
edit: just looked it up, honestly this is such an easy fix that it doesnt 'need triage', i imagine youd just change a single variables initial state and it's done

@naveensingh Can you check this and decide whether it should be done?

Support for 'real' MP3 format was added in SimpleMobileTools/Simple-Voice-Recorder#114. I haven't done much work on the Voice Recorder but I think the M4A stayed the default because:

• Tibor forgot to switch to MP3.
• Or the MP3 recorder implementation wasn't reliable enough (I remember some chatter related to it)

So we will switch to MP3 but if it causes any problems among the uninitiated users, I'm switching it back to M4A until MP3 works properly.

@RustoMCSpit it has nothing to do with easy. In projects like this, one must carefully consider the consequences before changing even a small constant. If we don't, it won't be long before the whole project is a mess that only works properly for a small group of people. When working with SMT, we often broke things even when we were sure we had considered every possible use case.
