AFAIK there are quite a lot different WAV formats around. The PCM format
is what CoolPro/SF saves by default and what seems to work fine. It's
very possible that your rippers produce different WAV formats. It might
be interesting to check whether there is some option in the properties
of your rippers to select the .WAV subformat (try PCM).

Maybe one of the developers can tell which WAV formats are supported by
oggenc/oggdrop/... and which not?
