audiogrep converts files to wav that are already wav?

[bkjones]

I have thousands of 16k mono wav files, which I think is what audiogrep wants to have in order to perform transcription. However, when I point audiogrep at these files, it converts them again. It seems like the convert_to_wav function does not perform any checks on the file type, but just checks for the presence of specific file names.

I can understand that it can be hard to detect some media formats with a high degree of precision, but I did not think wav was one that was hard to detect. If I'm wrong, then I wonder if maybe a '--skip-conversion' flag or similar could be added so the user can tell audiogrep 'Hey, these files are already in your expected format -- please don't convert these files to the same format they've already been converted to'.

If this feature would be welcome but nobody has time to do it, let me know. If I've missed something that makes this unnecessary, let me know how I can stop conversion from happening!

Thanks.
