...I realized i should have explained right after I posted
wav files have a little bit of non-audio information at the beginning that tells your computer how to read the file, i.e. canonical header data. without this data the computer has no idea what the bit depth, sample rate et al is, so this is very important.
some programs, especially wav editors like to put some stuff in there that help in some way such as a cue sheet or even just some text notes can be inserted in there. most often it just adds some stuff that was never asked to be put there and is no longer helpful after the editing process.
another thing that comes to mind is the description of the sub-chunk as "pad"... could you run a len check on your fileset to see if there are SBEs present? the instructions are in my signature under "checksums demystified".
if you don't know what SBEs are, I can explain that as well, let me know
