Whatever is parsing the WAV file is probably choking on the SoundForge 
files due to some formatting issue.  WAV files have RIFF-formatted 
chunks of data in them, and some parsers aren't very flexible...

With your own data, it's probably easiest to use a fixed format (44kHz, 
16-bit mono is a perfectly good choice) and store present it directly to 
OpenAL -- avoiding any WAV-file-parsing issues...

Multi-channel buffers aren't spatialized in OpenAL -- convert to mono if 
you want 3D spatialization...
