Every audio format we produce, and exactly what its bytes are
Audio defaults to MPEG-2 Layer III (MP3), 24 kHz, mono, 128 kbps, with no Xing/LAME header and no ID3 tag — the body starts at the first audio frame. Set response_format for anything else: mp3, mp3_64, mp3_160, wav, wav24, wav32f, flac, flac24, pcm, pcm_f32, aiff, caf, au, mulaw, alaw. The exact numbers for a given response are echoed in the X-Ditto-Audio-* headers; decode and resample from those rather than assuming a rate. GET /v1/audio/format describes every encoding in full, without authentication.
This endpoint is the machine-readable version: every response_format with its media type, codec, bit depth, bitrate, cost multiplier and a one-line description; the spellings we accept as aliases; the formats we do NOT produce and what to use instead; the response headers that echo the encoding; and a symptom→cause→fix table for the playback mistakes these encodings invite.
