Public bug reported:
If I decode an MP3 file to a WAV file using the --wav option the
resulting WAV file appears to have an incomplete/unusable header.
For example, after running:
mpg321 --wav output.wav input.mp3
If I then run 'file' on output.wav I get "RIFF (little-endian) data,
WAVE audio, stereo 44100 Hz". By comparison if I run 'file' on another
WAV file I get "RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16
bit, stereo 44100 Hz"
I discovered this when trying to use the resulting WAV files with
cdrdao. CD rejects the output of mpg321 with the error message "ERROR:
output.wav: not in PCM format." while it accepts the WAV file where the
header seems to contain more complete information.
