[PD] Repairing wav files written by pd 64bit

[thewade]

Thanks for the reply,

I tried snd-7: both snd and sndfile-convert.
snd\'s output:
[20:21:03] header read failed: /home/wade/Desktop/busted.wav: unrecognized \"RIFF\" (i.e. \'wave\') header
[20:21:03] header read failed: /home/wade/Desktop/busted.wav: unrecognized \"RIFF\" (i.e. \'wave\') header
sndfile-converts output:
sndfile-convert -pcm16 busted.wav busted-repaired.wav
Not able to open input file busted.wav.
File opened for read. Format not recognised.

Thanks for the suguestion though!
