[issue2245] aifc cannot handle unrecognised chunk type "CHAN"

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

The patch posted in issue 2259 solves this issue by deleting the
skiplist entirely and simply ignoring any unknown chunk.  Given the
relatively long list of skipped types compared to the short list of
handled types, this may be reasonable.

I am recommending in that issue that the skiplist change be broken out
into a separate patch and attached to this ticket as a proposed fix.

An alternative fix would be to add CHAN to the skiplist and/or turn the
existing error into a warning.  Someone more knowledgeable about AIFF
and sound files would perhaps know which would be more appropriate.
