George's reply to me was, it seems, off-list. Don't know why. I'm
replying on-list.
What does soxi say about the wave file?
Does the file have the file-size you'd expect for the single channel,
unknown (to us anyway) bit depth, 6000 samples per second?
Is what's in the file a recording of something (music, speech?) that
sounds 'sensible' to a human, or is it some sort of scientific data
that one can't tell about (by ear)?
Does the header info in the wav file contain the right descriptive
info for the data?
