Thats probably MP3 audio data inside a WAV container (much like you can have vorbis, speex or flac data inside an Ogg conatiner). > I can play it in mplayer, amarok, vlc media player and others, but > Audacity and Sweep don't like it, and I need to edit it. Audacity and sweep both use libsndfile which sees a WAV file header, but isn't able to read the MP3 data [0]. > After some googling, I discovered that by changing *.wav to *.mp3, other > programs (banshee for instance) will now play the file as an mp3 file, > so it seems the JNC plays strange tricks.

Use mplayer to export it to a standard PCM WAV file and then edit it in Sweep or Audacity. When you are done editing it, you can re-encode it as Ogg (or even mp3).
