Phonegap Media.startRecord() Audio Format

What is Phonegap's Media.startRecord() recording format and sample rate? Is the format different per platform?

mediaRec = new Media("test.mp3", onSuccess, onError);

mediaRec.startRecord();

When I try to convert the file from MP3 to WAV with lame, it gives me an error.

The encoding isn't as simple as just amr (at least from my experience). On my Droid Razr (4.1.2) and my work's Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (4.1.1) the formats were amr. On my co-workers Droid Razr M (4.2.x) the format was qcelp. On another work tablet, Asus ME301T (4.1.1), records in AAC

Reference: Fighting with phonegap for the last week (Sorry that is my best reference)

In android platform Media.startRecord() record audio in MP3 format. In iOS it records in WAV format and that is the only choice. If you want record in other additional format such as AMR in android use

navigator.device.capture.captureAudio( 
CaptureCB captureSuccess, CaptureErrorCB captureError,  [CaptureAudioOptions options]

);

Turns out that the encoding depends on the platform. So on android, the encoding is AMR.
