play-sound: Unsupported WAV file format

[Gijs Hillenius]

Hello

Me and my sounds files...  I use emacs-snapshot (Debian) and at
play-sound-file some sound files (wav) the CPU starts racing.  If I
manage to C-g the wav file that start to race, emacs becomes extremely
sluggish... Or, the CPU usages jumps to 50 %, at which point I kill
the entire emacs..and undesired state. I tried converting the
original wav file to ogg and back to wav with sox 

-rw-r--r-- 23072  ni-newversion.wav
-rw-r--r--  5549  ni-broken.ogg
-rw-r--r-- 11558  ni-broken.wav

but the racing CPU remains.

At some others I get play-sound: Unsupported WAV file format. Which
seems an undocumented feature.

Any idea how to debug this?

I use alsa 0.99.76-9 

The Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G

Hints welcome. Thx

Gijs
