190+ The service can return audio in the following formats (MIME types).
191+ * Where indicated, you can optionally specify the sampling rate (`rate`) of the
192+ audio. You must specify a sampling rate for the `audio/l16` and `audio/mulaw`
193+ formats. A specified sampling rate must lie in the range of 8 kHz to 192 kHz.
194+ * For the `audio/l16` format, you can optionally specify the endianness
195+ (`endianness`) of the audio: `endianness=big-endian` or
196+ `endianness=little-endian`.
197+ Use the `Accept` header or the `accept` parameter to specify the requested format
198+ of the response audio. If you omit an audio format altogether, the service returns
199+ the audio in Ogg format with the Opus codec (`audio/ogg;codecs=opus`). The service
200+ always returns single-channel audio.
201+ * `audio/basic`
202+ The service returns audio with a sampling rate of 8000 Hz.
203+ * `audio/flac`
204+ You can optionally specify the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is
205+ 22,050 Hz.
206+ * `audio/l16`
207+ You must specify the `rate` of the audio. You can optionally specify the
208+ `endianness` of the audio. The default endianness is `little-endian`.
209+ * `audio/mp3`
210+ You can optionally specify the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is
211+ 22,050 Hz.
212+ * `audio/mpeg`
213+ You can optionally specify the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is
214+ 22,050 Hz.
215+ * `audio/mulaw`
216+ You must specify the `rate` of the audio.
217+ * `audio/ogg`
218+ The service returns the audio in the `vorbis` codec. You can optionally specify
219+ the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is 22,050 Hz.
220+ * `audio/ogg;codecs=opus`
221+ You can optionally specify the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is
222+ 22,050 Hz.
223+ * `audio/ogg;codecs=vorbis`
224+ You can optionally specify the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is
225+ 22,050 Hz.
226+ * `audio/wav`
227+ You can optionally specify the `rate` of the audio. The default sampling rate is
228+ 22,050 Hz.
229+ * `audio/webm`
230+ The service returns the audio in the `opus` codec. The service returns audio
231+ with a sampling rate of 48,000 Hz.

241+ If a request includes invalid query parameters, the service returns a `Warnings`
187242 response header that provides messages about the invalid parameters. The warning
