Can you:
   - make a safety copy of the seems-ok stereo file so the original one 
does
     not get changed


   - make a reverse stereo copy of it (ie the audio data should remain 
the same
     but left will be on the right, and right on the left), by:

     C:\>"path\to\sox\sox.exe" "seems-ok-file.wav" 
"seems-ok-reversed.wav" remix 2 1


   - then find out if the reversed by sox seems-ok file can load into SO 
without
     an error

   - then re-reverse it, so

     C:\>"path\to\sox\sox.exe" "seems-ok-reversed.wav" 
"seems-ok-reversedagain.wav" remix 2 1

     and test that (which should audio-wise) be the same as the original 
one.


Can you then put the reversed and reversedagain files online somewhere 
for me to download.


I'm sorry, but I think it won't be until later tonight before I have an 
opportunity to look
at this in more detail.
