Subject: doc: Always use MP3 as audio codec

While transcoding to a lossy formate like MP3 is not recommended [1]
forquality reasons it has the advantage that alway UPD / Matroska / MP3
is used for soundbox. That way the stream can be stopped and started at
any time without re-launching ffplay on the soundbox device. This could
make the SSH connection to the soundbox not longer needed.
