[Libav-user] no 'data' tag found

[Anton Shekhovtsov]

Hi, it seems you have an invalid file
The simplest WAV that can be opened with ffmpeg consists of the following:
20-byte header ('WAVEfmt'...)
WAVEFORMAT compatible format descriptor
8-byte empty data block ('data'...)

or maybe you just need to increase probe size
