24-bit WAV playback results in white noise on Chromecast v1 1.18.55065 firmware

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Although WAV playback has been fixed in the latest Chromecast v1 firmware, 
24-bit WAV doesn't play properly.

How to test/reprod:

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 1.18.55065.
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/test24.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 play white noise

Moreover:

- 24-bit WAV playback plays fine on Chromecast v2 and Chromecast Audio
- the test WAV above is at 96 kHz but the sammplerate does not matter
- no issue with 24-bit FLAC playback

Correction: 24-bit playback is also broken on the Chromecast v2, firmware 
1.18.55065.
Only the the CCA plays it properly.

And if I remember correctly 24-bit WAV played fine on the Chromecast v2 1.17 
firmware.
