asterisk users - Oct 2007 - Help Needed - Error when playing wav files in 1.4.11

I get the following error when trying to play wav files for my IVR
menu. Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it?

[Oct 17 01:04:23] WARNING[9799]: format_wav.c:124 check_header: Does not say fmt


Thanks!
David

Your wav files are broken.
(or maybe in a format not supported by Asterisk)

It means that your .wav files do not correspond to the standard wav format.
Probably the vendor that created your wav files ignored some part of the
specification, or they're using some specification that we aren't aware
of.

If you use sox to convert the files, you should be able to get a format that
is playable by Asterisk.
