PLEASE READ THE DOCUMENTATION BEFORE SUBMITTING AN ISSUE

Describe the bug
BiordWeather no longer accepts audio file uploads in WAV format, they require them to be in FLAC format. The version of BirdNET that is being used in BattyBirdNET needs to be modified accordingly. A patch file is attached.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Get a BirdWeather id and add it to the BattyBirdNET configuration.
  2. Observe the error messages from BirdWeather in the syslog:
