Topic: 24bit WAV files not playing in Windows Media Player 11

Why can't Windows Media Player 11 play 24bit files like this http://www.freesound.org/samplesViewSingle.php?id=19094 ? 32bit floating point files work fine. Windows Media Player 11 issue or a bug in the WDM drivers (3.083)?

Seems to be a problem of the files. http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents … E-AFsp.wav for example plays fine.

I know the ffdshow solution. But this should be working without it in my opinion.
