Description Damien 2010-10-16 10:41:48 UTC
Version:           1.68.0 (using KDE 4.3.5) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to import a stereo CD quality 44.1kHz 16-bit wav file bounced directly from Protools into k3b, I get the following error:

Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format:
You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project.

I believe the file format is Broadcast Wave (BWF) but uses a .wav extension.
Support in k3b for this format would be much appreciated, it means I could master my Audio CDs with k3b using cd-text without needing to convert all my files after bouncing.

Here is a hexdump of the header of one of my files i am trying to import into k3b:
