[ardour-users] Export/import 32bit stereo broken?

[Zachris Trolin]

I redid a broken export now using session/export region. In the session
settings i choose stereo and 32bit, wav, which creates one file that is
broken - it's easy to verify just how messed up the file is using either
ardour/import or looking at the waveform in rezound.
