        <pre>Reported in IRC:

<kiraank> Hi, I am using PA 2.1 and getting this error when I try to play some
wav file using paplay : "Code should not be reached at
pulsecore/sndfile-util.c:391, function pa_sndfile_readf_function(). Aborting.

I had a look at pa_sndfile_readf_function(). It handles a limited set of sample
formats. I then checked what kind of sample specs paplay can give that
function. It looks like the sample spec is coming from
pa_sndfile_read_sample_spec(), and that function can return format
PA_SAMPLE_S24NE, which is not handled by pa_sndfile_readf_function().

We couldn't figure out with kiraank what the sample format of the test file was
("file test.wav" didn't show the bit depth for some reason). I then tried to
create a test file with this command:

    parecord --device=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo.monitor
--format=s24le > test.wav

but that crashed too, in a similar way but not exactly the same:

    Code should not be reached at pulsecore/sndfile-util.c:413, function
pa_sndfile_writef_function(). Aborting.
    Aborted</pre>
