   Thanks for providing the sound file, it's very helpful! I think JSyn fails to decode the file because it is in unsigned (8 bit) PCM encoding. To fix this we will probably have to switch to a different library/code for loading WAV samples.

   Good to hear. The file is created with http://github.grumdrig.com/jsfxr/, one of the bfxr/sfxr family of tools to generate sound effects for games.

   Just to confirm, the lack of support for compressed WAV formats is documented here: http://www.softsynth.com/jsyn/docs/javadocs/com/jsyn/util/SampleLoader.html

   Despite what it says there, setting the Javasound preferred flag does not add support for 8bit unsigned WAV files. I wonder if we could somehow still easily add support by fiddling with JavaSounds's AudioInputStream class directly.
