What are the potential licensing issues when using MP3 format for audio recordings in PHP applications?

Potential licensing issues when using MP3 format for audio recordings in PHP applications arise from the patent restrictions on the MP3 technology. To avoid legal complications, developers can use alternative audio formats that are not encumbered by patents, such as OGG or AAC. 

// Example code snippet using OGG format instead of MP3
$audioFile = 'audio.ogg';
// Process the audio file using OGG format
