unable to record wav 8 bit audio

[W9CR]

I am using svar to record two-way radio for logging and compliance. This is phone grade audio at best and would be most efficient to record as 8k samples with 8 bits of resolution. This would be 64kbit/s or 8kbytes/s and is the typical logging format used. This has no overhead that the various telco codec have, and is still smaller than the mp3 format as it's not better with low bit rate speech.

Currently the only option is signed 16bit little endian samples, which is double the needed space.

This is low priority issue. I'm now post processing these files with a script to convert to opus via systemd path files.
