Someone on linux-audio-user suguested ghex to view the header data. I only installed hexedit as I have to do a major update to my machine to get libgnimeprintui22 up to date, and I tried by hand but I gave up after I had downloaded 40 rpms and there were still more to be downloaded. Yum aparently cant find all the files it needs. Anyway I gave up.

From hexedit I got that a large portion of the header is just not

being written as you can see below:

I looked at d_soundfile.c briefly and didnt see anything in the 1 min scan, but I have to go and cant really get into it today. I was hoping that someone more fimiliar with that file will immediately recognize the problem. Otherwise I will look at it tonight hopefully.

Thanks again! -thewade
