WAV sound broken in Chromecast firmware 1.17.46278 #698

From: https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/chromecast/ekIjTXzPZ_E

Casting any content with type wav (PCM unsigned 8), Chromecast crashes and 
reboot.
Eg tested with sound files at http://www.wavsource.com, and casting to 
chromecast with various android app: google play music, BubbleUPnP. 
Also applies to containers Webm that contain the audio track in wav media type

The data are: first-generation Chromecast with 1.17.46278 firmware. 
In previous versions of firmware no problem.

-----------

We can confirm this issue. WAV-support is broken with the latest 
firmware-update and this is affecting many of our users now.
It doesn't matter what casting-app we are using, nor does it matter if we use 
our custom receiver-app or the default receiver.
It also doesn't matter if we cast local WAV-files or public WAV-files available 
on the internet.

Once the CC should play a WAV, it will hang and reboot.

Using MP3 is still working well..

Hope this issue is addressed asap.

Please share receiver logs after successfully reproducing it. Also, from the 
Android app share feedback report with the text "for Issue 698" in the 
description.

Can you tell me how to actually share the Chromecast-logs? It hangs & crashes 
once you try to cast a WAV-file to it, even with the default-receiver.

Should be easy to reproduce.

Thanks for the instructions. I have reproduced the issue on the Chromecast (let 
it play a WAV file leads to immediate crash & reboot of the CC).

Then I have sent the report from within the Chromecast-app with title "for 
Issue 698".

Looking forward to your feedback :)

I confirm this issue. It's sad as it is not the first regression following a 
firmware update, and users discover it for you.

Was the cast team able to reproduce this issue ?

I can give easy to follow repro instructions if needed.

Please do provide the repro instructions (along with any test files you used),

1. install BubbleUPnP: 
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.bubbleupnp
2. start BubbleUPnP
3. in the top navigation drawer, in the renderer section, select a Chromecast 
v1 running firmware 1.17.46278
4. go into the Playlist tab
5. tap the top-right 3-dot menu and select "Add stream URL"
6. In the dialog, add this URL: http://bubblesoftapps.com/test.wav. Give it a 
title and press OK
7. Still in the Playlist tab, tap the new entry to play it
8. The Chromecast will attempt to play the stream then will shortly crash and 
reboot

itself to me. Thanks for your help.
