Oh yes, I remember now... ADPCM.... WAV files used to be
cross-platform as long as all were PCM... I used to exchange wav files
between Windows, Linux, and OS/2 systems... then came Microsoft with
ADPCM and suddenly I couldn´t play those wav files anymore on my
ages-old OS/2 4.5 system.

I wonder, perhaps k3b is expecting wav files to be in PCM format,
instead of ADPCM?.
