I have just finished reading a book about the British comedian Peter Cook. It is titled, "Tragically I was an Only Twin". I don't know whether the extra sample makes the file technically invalid. I do know that it doesn't make any sense; the lone sample is an only twin. ... > The main reason to bring this up is to point out that these files exist and > in our experience are quite common, of the hundreds of > new wav files we receive a day around 1% seem to have this problem.

If you have the time and resources then why not ask three suppliers of these "only twin" files what software they used to create them. (Ask three so that if one tells you nonsense then we are not sent on a wild goose chase.) Assuming you get agreement on what software is doing this then post back here and we can make suggestions on how to get it fixed.
