1074141 - "The buffer passed to decodeAudioData contains an unknown content type." for wav files that are fine in other players

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 524109

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, defect, P2)

Description

[Nick Fitzgerald [:fitzgen] [⏰PST; UTC-8]]

STR:

* extract package
* go to the extracted dir (music-thang) and `python -m SimpleHTTPServer`
* open localhost:8000 in Nightly
* open devtools console
* notice decode errors reported in console

---------------

If you edit index.js to reference sounds/*.ogg instead of sounds/*.wav, run `npm run build` and refresh, the errors go away.

The wavs play fine in quicktime, NI maschine, and VLC; presumably elsewhere, too.

The oggs were generated from the wavs with `ffmpeg -i x.wav  -acodec libvorbis x.ogg`.

---------------

Note that this app is otherwise still very buggy, so don't expect much from it.

ffprobe results on those wavs, something's weird about those files

```
[wav @ 0x7fea09006600] no 'data' tag found
kick-1.wav: Invalid data found when processing input
```

Strangely enough, this does work in chrome -- attached more straight forward test case

Only U8 and S16 are supported. These files are S32 (24 bit).
