Hi everyone.

First thank you for the great work and support. I'm in the process of
writing a sound library for an internal project, and I realize more each
day the amount of work the developers may have put in writing SoX.

I am working now on a Wave file exporter, and while using `soxi` to
verify the my wave files are well formed, I noticed the warning "wave
header missing extended part of fmt chunk":

However, it seems to me I write the extended 40 bytes fmt chunk in the file:

At byte 0x24 we can see 0x0016 which is the size (22 bytes) of the
extended fmt header, followed by the extended header content. And after
that, the `fact` chunk starts.

Why is `soxi` considering the extended header is missing?

FWIW, Microsoft docs seem to be relatively ambiguous, so
I based my wave exporter implementation on
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/WAVE/WAVE.html

I don't know if I can attach files to this mailing list, but let me know
if you want I send you the corresponding Wave file.

Best regards,
- Sylvain Leroux
