I've been experiencing this on 14.04.3. The files are received from Nextiva (Voip provider) voicemail to email service.
I played around with export formats in Audacity. On my system Totem seems to have this issue with the Microsoft ADPCM IMA ADPCM encoding. Each of these encodings causes the skipping and garbling when played in Totem. VLC, et al. seem to work fine. totem 3.10.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gstreamer0.10 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1124408 Title: wav file garbled in totem, plays fine in gst-launch and mplayer Status in gstreamer0.10 package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I tried to pay a .wav file in totem. The audio is garbled in totem but plays back fine in mplayer or when using gst-launch from the command line. This is a problem because Thunderbird uses Totem as the default handler for .wav audio, so .wav attachments to mails will be opened in Totem. To reproduce: 1) Open the attached .wav file in Movie Player (totem) Expected results: The audio file plays back with no errors Actual results: The audio is garbled during playback The file plays fine through gst-launch: ~$ gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///path/to/msg0001.WAV Mplayer also plays it without garbling the audio. Not all .wav files are affected. For example the files in /usr/share/sound/alsa/ work fine in totem. The audio was recorded from a voicemail box on an asterisk phone system.
