Input from file only works with parameter `-f` about redsea HOT 5 CLOSED

Seems that although it has the extension, this file is not in the s16 format (raw 16-bit signed integer PCM), instead it is a 24-bit WAV file.

$ file radiostetin.wav.s16
radiostetin.wav.s16: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 24 bit, mono 192000 Hz

$ file gen-yksi-171k.s16
gen-yksi-171k.s16: data

I have renamed it as I thought it might work then. The original extension of the file was .wav

You can convert any audio file (well, almost) into the S16LE format with sox: sox radiostetin.wav radiostetin.s16 (this format has no headers for metadata, so make sure of the correct number of channels and sample rate).

Edit: Or it can be directly piped to redsea with sox audiofile.wav -t .s16 -r 171k - | redsea

For now, I'm not planning to add WAV input via stdin, but if such a need arises this can very well be reopened.

-f seemes to convert 24bit into 16bit as well. So it's worth mentioning it in the wiki as well.
