A quick check found this:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/media/media-formats.html#audio-formats
which seems to indicate that, on Android, the only format which can
carry PCM audio is WAV. The only other supported lossless audio codec
seems to be FLAC, but that is only supported in actual FLAC files. So
it looks like you need to use a lossy codec.
