trying to embed http://ousia.justfree.com/testaudio.swf (which is

Could you send me the original wav file (prueba-audio.wav)?

I don't know whether this is the original file, but it displays a 
similar error:

swfc aaudio-test-file.sc
wav_read: warning - short file (2146726272 bytes missing)

file "testaudio.wav"

http://ousia.justfree.com/prueba-audio.swf needs to be renamed to wav 
(as http://ousia.justfree.com/testaudio.swf), since they are actually 
wav files, but my hosting service doesn't allow the uploading of files 
using the wav extension.

In the meantime, I recommend "fixing" the file using sox:
    sox prueba-audio.wav prueba-audio-fixed.wav

I'm afraid it doesn't seem to work:

sox prueba-audio.wav prueba-audio-fixed.wav
sox formats: can't open input file `prueba-audio.wav': WAVE: RIFF header 
not found

Thanks for your help,
