Serve original uploaded file instead of WAV for audio playback

The audio endpoint was serving the extracted WAV (16kHz mono PCM)
which balloons to ~1GB for a 3-hour session. Browsers cannot seek
efficiently in such a large uncompressed file.

Now the endpoint serves the original uploaded file (m4a, mp3, opus, etc.)
— a compressed format the browser can seek via byte-range requests.
Falls back to the WAV if the original is missing.
