| Package Version Status
| cygwin 1.7.9-1 OK

Thanks for explaining, Marco. As I replied to Christopher, I think I
was confused.

| $ uname -rv
| 1.7.10s(0.255/5/3) 20111129 17:41:48

It'll be nice when the new cygwin release comes out and octave works
with gnuplot. I didn't realize that it was fixed in snapshots after
June. I know what to try if the need arises.

Yes, my mistake again. My error message is that there is no RIFF
chunk, while
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=30309 is for no
*data* chunk.

<...snip...>
| Please note that
|
| $ file *.wav
| 428shortMono.wav: RIFF (big-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 44100 Hz
| oddchunk.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM,
| 16 bit, mono 1000 Hz
|
| I am not sure that your file is compatible with octave expectation,
| I suggest to rise the question on octave-help as I know nothing about
| sound file format.
Will do. Thanks for checking for me.
