I have downloaded the attached file and I have been following all the steps to make Thunderbird play WAV files when a new mail arrives.

I have to tell you that with your WAV file, at least for me it works correctly, but I have one WAV file that my GNOME is able to play and Thunderbird 3.1b2pre only pay clicks and noise.

So here I have detailed all the steps:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.2pre) Gecko/20100309 Lanikai/3.1b2pre 

Name=Thunderbird
Version=3.1b2pre
BuildID=20100309031442
SourceRepository=http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central
SourceStamp=4d49469ed771

ID={3550f703-e582-4d05-9a08-453d09bdfdc6}

I'm using GNOME 2.28.1 over Ubuntu 9.10

1.- In the General properties panel, click on play a sound when a mail arrive.
2.- Select a wav file.
3.- Use the play button to hear the wav file.
    The one used in this bug works without problem.
    The one that I have attached now, only makes noise.

Cheers!
This wav file is only noise when Thunderbird tries to reproduce it.
Dupe of bug #534033 : both errors raise the same error in error console.

(dupe this also if is the oldest, but isn't a problem)
