I bought the Tomb Raider Soundtrack with the Survivor Edition of the game from steam. The files are all waves. I can get the files to play properly in totem, vlc and using alsa's aplay, but I can't get them to play using mplayer.

Mplayer gives me this output:
Code:
MPlayer 1.1-4.6.3 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

Playing TR_CE_01 Adventure Found Me FINAL V01.wav.
libavformat version 54.29.104 (external)
Audio only file format detected.
Load subtitles in ./
==========================================================================
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 1411.2 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 176400->176400)
Selected audio codec: [pcm] afm: pcm (Uncompressed PCM)
==========================================================================
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Video: no video
Starting playback...
A:  -0.0 (unknown) of 24347.0 ( 6:45:47.0) ??,?%


Exiting... (End of file)

It exits immediately without playing anything. I don't have any trouble playing other pcm wav files, but none of them are at the same sampling rate.

If I run "file" on the tracks, I get this output:
Code:
RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 44100 Hz

Here's the emerge info for mplayer with use flags:
Code:
Calculating dependencies... done!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why these files only fail to work with mplayer? If I should post other information, please let me know.
