| 
| So if you have

| Cygwin Package Information
| Package              Version        Status
| cygwin               1.7.9-1        OK
|

Thanks for explaining, Marco.  As I replied to Christopher, I think I
was confused.

| I am also running a snapshot as 1.7.9
| 
| $ uname -rv
| 1.7.10s(0.255/5/3) 20111129 17:41:48
| 
| for the reason reported on
| http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2011-10/msg00001.html

It'll be nice when the new cygwin release comes out and octave works
with gnuplot.  I didn't realize that it was fixed in snapshots after
June.  I know what to try if the need arises.

| It seems a different problem of the bug you thought about, ...

Yes, my mistake again.  My error message is that there is no RIFF
chunk, while
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=30309 is for no
*data* chunk.

| ...both the 3.4.2-3 and the latest development build do not

   <...snip...>

| Please note that
| 
| $ file *.wav
| 428shortMono.wav: RIFF (big-endian) data, WAVE audio, mono 44100 Hz
| oddchunk.wav:     RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 
| 16 bit, mono 1000 Hz
| 
| I am not sure that your file is compatible with octave expectation,
| I suggest to rise the question on octave-help as I know nothing about
| sound file format.

Will do.  Thanks for checking for me.
