    (This is on Debian testing, but I'm also having the same problem with
    RedHat 8 at work.)

    I have xmms 1.2.8-2, which shows the plugin "Wave Player 1.2.8
    [libwav.so]" as installed and enabled. But it will not play or even
    open *.wav files. Any suggestions?

    I also installed vorbis-tools 1.0.1-1, but it won't work:

    $ oggenc start.wav
    Skipping chunk of type "fact", length 4
    ERROR: Wav file is unsupported type (must be standard PCM
     or type 3 floating point PCM
    ERROR: Input file "start.wav" is not a supported format

    even though man oggenc says "oggenc reads audio data in either raw,
    WAV, or AIFF format and encodes it into an Ogg Vorbis stream."

    What am I missing or doing wrong?

    Thanks,
    Adam
