Summary

Specifies the format for sound files recorded with the record sound command.

Description

Use the recordFormat property to specify the codec used to encode the recorded audio and optionally the container/kind of file the audio is stored in.

The value of a format can either be a codec or a codec/container pair delimited by dash '-'. The recordFormats function returns a list of supported recordFormat values. If the container is not specified then it will default to the first in the list of supported recordFormat values.
