(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package: kaiman
Version: KDE 2.0 latest CVS
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: Source

Kaiman reports an error if I try to play a .au format
sound file:

% kaiman /usr/local/kde2/share/apps/kjezz/sounds/reflect.au
WAVPlayObject_impl::getPlugin
zero bytes fread: Interrupted system call
8-bit ISDN u-law Sun audio file not supported:

Note that I can play .wav .mp3 etc.. with kaiman
and I can play the above .au file with artsplay.

It looks like most of the support is there in
kdemultimedia/mpeglib/lib/tplay/au.cpp.
Maybe it is not handling headerless .au files properly?
It would be good to support this file format as it is
quite common.
