Description Neil Wilson 2009-06-06 04:31:47 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
Release:	9.04

gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:
  Installed: 0.10.14-1
  Candidate: 0.10.14-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.10.14-1 0

        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

The 16 bit version of the wav file on http://www.soundkeeperrecordings.com/format.htm will not play via gstreamer (but will via aplay without problems). The 24 bit version plays fine.

Steps to reproduce:
neil@neil-laptop:~$ gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=Music/WAV/sr001-01-1644.wav ! wavparse


Actual results:
Setting pipeline to PAUSED ...
Pipeline is PREROLLED ...
ERROR: from element /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstWavParse:wavparse0: Could not demultiplex stream.
Additional debug info:
gstwavparse.c(1525): gst_wavparse_stream_headers (): /GstPipeline:pipeline0/GstWavParse:wavparse0:
Couldn't read in header

Expected results:
The 16 bit version should play in the same way as the 24 bit version.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
You get the same problem across all my sound cards on all my Ubuntu machines.

    wavparse: handle LIST INFO of 0 size
    
    Handle LIST INFO chunks of 0 size instead of causing errors.
