Well your right about the incompatibility, for the wave file, I took the 
wave file opened up in  audacity and then resaved it again as a wave 
file and it now works.

file showed before:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft ADPCM, mono 11025 Hz
and then after:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 11025 Hz

so I guess the first format is incompatible but the second is.

remaining problem is the fields in the display message pages....
