Many rippers/WAV manipulation programs stick a 'junk' chunk at the end of the 
WAV with a little advertisement for themselves.  This is not part of the audio 
and if another program reading that WAV file doesn't expect the crap at the 
end, it's processed as audio as a loud pop.

Mike, this will be something else you'll need to add to OggEnc's WAV 
handling...
