 When loading a decoder, miniaudio uses a trial and error technique to find the appropriate decoding backend. This can be unnecessarily inefficient if the type

+See the `ma_encoding_format` enum for possible encoding formats.

 The `ma_decoder_init_file()` API will try using the file extension to determine which decoding backend to prefer.
