 In the mean time does anyone know how to repair
the header of a wav
file? I tried snd-7 but it cannot open the file. Sox doesnt reconize
the file format. I can play the files written by PD by using:
aplay -f dat test.wav 

Remove the WAV header in some way (everything up to and including letters
\'DATA\'). Then use something like this:
sox -t raw -r 48000 -swc2 broken-wave.raw corrected.wav

You can skip the header deletion, but then you get a click at the
beginning of the corrected WAV (the click may be hearable).

Sweet, that works! Thank you!

Now is there a way to view what the wav header actually looks like so
I can repair the PD source? I used vi to delete the header and all the
data that is not ascii shows up as ^@. I want to diff the two headers
and then repair the fault in the PD source.

Thanks again for the speedy help! You rock!
