I see nothing corrupt on the file That is, at the end of get_wav_header (proper patch when there is agreement of the ways and means).

Yes i mainain riff.c, feel free to add me to the list if you like ... And whether the demuxer or the codec changes the sample rate, a warning should be issued. OK? Print as many warnings as you like :) but please dont reject streams at random,
It is *NOT* at random. The spec is very clear: the sample rate for GSM is 8000. Any other value in the RIFF headers is simply wrong and hints that the encoder has screwed up.
patch below fixes this file and i suspect others as well, i will apply it in 24h unless you object.
The change was submitted for review and you didn't object... But if you insist on a quick-and-dirty fix for all those malformed files, patch attached for your consideration. But consider the consequences:
Your patch does not fix the problem just try to play them with ffplay. My patch works, yours does not. That file does have a sample rate of 44100 not 8000. The easiest solution is simply to remove the code messing with the sample rate. The alternative would be to add a sample_rate field to AVStream so both demuxer and decoder can provide their sample rates to the user app. But this seems really bad design as we know which rate is wrong and which is not. And 2 sample rate fields will just force the user app to duplicate the logic, the situation would be different if we didnt knew what was correct but heres its clear, if the demuser says X its X if the demuxer doesnt say anything its 8000. Most sane would be if(!avctx->sample_rate) avctx->sample_rate= 8000; IMO [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB No great genius has ever existed without some touch of madness. -- Aristotle
