🎞️ Extended format support via FFmpeg 8+ (optional)
If FFmpeg 8+ is installed on the system, OwnAudioSharp automatically uses it as the primary decoder — unlocking AAC, OGG, Opus, WMA, AIFF, AC3, MKV, MP4, and virtually any other format with zero code changes. Falls back to the built-in MP3 / WAV / FLAC decoders when FFmpeg is not present. FFmpeg is not bundled and not required.
