WAV Header : RIFF INFO not supported #207

Closed ngaullier closed 9 years ago

ERROR: Got error message message: WAVE file has invalid data chunk header

MrsWatson does not support WAV files generated by ffmpeg/libavformat because of the chunk "LIST/INFO" which contains an ISFT Metadata (Encoder library name/version). This chunk is inserted between the "fmt " and "data" and should just be ignored. Some ffmpeg users have reported that there is a very strage turnaround by means of the option "-flags bitexact" (and I can confirm this myself today), but this is very tricky and may not work in the future...
