load mp3/wav file with its own extension

[chaosprint]

Even if in the future we switch ffmpeg to pure rust solutions, we may still need to avoid inexplicit extension change from wav or mp3 to ogg. The logic is that if we do the format conversion secretly, we should do the URL conversion secretly as well to avoid extra cognitive load for users/developers.

I agree with the change (it is confusing to change the extension), but I'm not sure if replacing the extension in asset::load is the best place to do it.

Maybe we should have the build system create a folder and keep the file in there, so that you can pass in assets/shoot.wav to asset::url, which will look up ambient-asset:/assets/shoot.wav/out.ogg?

That would also allow us to have different-quality sounds if need be.

Good idea. I will work on the audio loading part to support different formats.
