Using the above command created a good WAV file.  The command embedded 
into Sound Juicer is:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=22050,channels=1 ! wavenc name=enc

I'm not an expert at interpreting this.



OK, with some experimenting the command that works is:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! wavenc name=enc

This is saved in "Voice, Lossless (wav type)


I think the problem that is happening is when people see "wav type", 
they associate this with lossless music.  This is not, this is a single 
channel voice quality.  You have to use the command shown above to 
create lossless music for the WAV file format.  You may even increase 
the bit rate at the expense of file size.  Searching google, I'm not the 
only one who fell for this situation.

FLAC appears to be working correctly.

Things are working, what may be broken is when I edit to add a new 
"output format" in "edit profiles", why doesn't it show up in my 
selection list?  This way I can add to create a WAV file with the 
correct bit rate and 2 channels as the sample command that works.
