So I run shntool fix on the file and the -b- is gone. But, when I look at the WAV closely with Cool Edit, and I zoom in at the end, I can see a little tiny flat line.

When the file has the SBE, I see no flat line at the end. But when I fix it, it appears. I don't understand why? It has happened to me a few times. Anyone know what the problem is?

You must be zoomed *way* in. You see the little tiny flat line because shntool has padded the file with a little tiny tad of silence.
