feature: option for %(ext)s to be "weba" for audio-only webm files #15990

I would also like to have this option. An alternative compatible extension is .mka (matroska audio). MPC-HC player already has the ability to stream content using youtube-dl. I want to add a basic download option as well to store the best quality audio/video. Having audio in a separate file is no issue for MPC-HC. It can load such a file automatically, provided that it has an audio specific extension, and that its base file name is identical to the opened video file. |
.weba is not an official but a de facto extension for audio/webm

having the right extension is useful for some programs that make decisions only by extension
with such an option,
youtube-dl -f worstaudio -o "%(title).%(ext)", would produce atitle.webafile if it chose to download webm
