Research direction

Reproduce the issue by opening a WFDB record with rdrecord, creating an fmr array with value 508, and writing a sample with wrsample. Trace how format 508 is handled during writing and identify the existing unsupported-format path. Done means the described FLAC write no longer reports that the format is unsupported.
