Greetings All
I'm trying to read in an audio wave file that is a 96000hz 1 second file that 
is 375.1kB


filewavallpathStr= '/home/rat/Documents/octave/raw_audio/';

[aa_pos_neg_combined, fs_rate, nbitsraw] = 
wavread(strcat(filewavallpathStr,'all.wav'));


I'm getting this error
#yiv1844975221 p, #yiv1844975221 li {white-space:pre-wrap;}

error: wavread: sample format 0xfffe is not supported


error: called from:


error:   /usr/share/octave/3.2.4/m/audio/wavread.m at line 111, column 5


I'm using octave 3.2.4 on ubuntu 64

Can octave waveread command only read in 44100hz files?

It's not a problem with sample rate. I remember I had to tell SoX to write
WAV files in floating point format to make Octave understand it.

I don't know where the problem is - I'm lucky I found a workaround.
