hm, this looks like your "file" commmand can't recognize wav files at all.

So let's try to get the results with ecasound.

If you play the files with ecasound, what gets printed after the name of
the audio files?

Example:

  $ ecasound ~/loops/hmmbaby-mono.wav
  [...]
  (eca-chainsetup) Audio object "/home/freak/loops/hmmbaby-mono.wav", mode "read".
  (audio-io) Format: s16_le, channels 1, srate 44100, interleaved.

Note the Format and the channels here. That one was a mono file.

Now the same with a stereo file:

  [...]
  (eca-chainsetup) Audio object "/home/freak/loops/hmmbaby.wav", mode "read".
  (audio-io) Format: s16_le, channels 2, srate 44100, interleaved.

That's two channels.

bye,
