[New-bugs-announce] [issue16525] wave file module does not support 32bit float format

[Sebastian Kraft]

New submission from Sebastian Kraft:

The wave module cannot read audio WAV files containing 32bit float values. This is a very common file type for professional audio!

There has already been a patch some years ago which works fine but was finally not applied. I can confirm that it does not break anything and only adds support for a new number format.
