I want to seize the occasion, i just checked on ardour2 to see if its still 
present, and yes, ardour2 won't see file with upper suffixe case  
like .WAV .AIFF and so on.

It happens sometimes that u get a lot of them from old imports or from CDROM 
and cannot use them right now without renaming (wich can be impratical).

Its not totally impossible that u sometimes find a .Wav or a .Aiff either. So 
that would be great if ardour would be able to see suffixe regardless of the 
case combination.
