Hi,
when working with the whisper api, I realized it does not support ogg vorbis format.
Is it possible to add this format as well? It’s often used in audio messages sent through messengers.

### Describe the feature or improvement you're requesting
Dear OpenAI Team,
…
I am writing to request the addition of OGG file format support in the Whisper model. As you know, OGG is a popular open-source multimedia container format that is widely used for streaming, storing, and transmitting digital multimedia content such as audio and video.
Currently, the Whisper model supports only a limited number of audio file formats, such as WAV and MP3. However, many users, including myself, prefer to use OGG format due to its superior compression, quality, and open-source nature.
Therefore, I would like to request that the OpenAI team considers adding OGG file format support to the Whisper model. This would allow users to process and generate high-quality audio content in OGG format, which is important for many applications such as music production, podcasting, and voiceover work.
I believe that adding support for OGG file format in the Whisper model would be a valuable addition to the platform, and would help to expand the range of options available to users. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing your response.
Sincerely,
Ido
