get_av_format() {
    # Desc: Gets audio/video format of file as string
    # Usage: get_av_format arg1
    # Depends: ffprobe
    # Version: 0.0.1
    # Input: arg1: input file path
    # Output: stdout (if valid audio or video format)
    #         exit code 0 if av file; 1 otherwise
    # Example: get_av_format myvideo.mp4
    #   Note: Would return "opus" if full ffprobe report had 'Audio: opus, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp'
    # Note: Not tested with videos containing multiple video streams
