I found some sites [1] stating
"""
However, iRiver does not follow this standard exactly, so standard libraries
(e.g. libsndfile) will not decode it correctly. On Windows, you can use the
iRiver software to convert to a standard PCM WAV file. On Linux, you can use
another open source project, ifprecconv.
"""
So, we'd need to implement this adpcm  variant in adpcmdec/enc, define a caps
variant and we'd need to be able to somehow detect it. However I don't see any
metadata in the file that we could use for detection :/ Shall we close this as
WONTFIX?
