file output.wav -> data

mplayer says ->
Playing output.wav.
LMLM4 Stream Format not found

and I see how ob is working, but I can't interpret any of the stuff 
coming from the file.

dunno if that tells you anything?

I also did a raw dump of the audio, and the resulting file was the same 
size as the attempt at a wav output. 7.8 megs. Here is the info on that 
file.

file stream.dump
stream.dump: data

Playing stream.dump.
