0xA119 does not seem to be among the WAVE Codec ID's that FFmpeg does recognize (see link in this post). How did to create that file or where did you obtain it?

EDIT: Could be the ATRAC3plus format, a format use primarily on "MiniDisc".

Actually I would say that there are no "normal" and "abnormal" WAVE files.

WAVE is a container that can store a multitude of different audio formats. Uncompressed PCM is only one of them and even plain PCM can be either 0x1 (Integer) or 0x3 (floating point). See this post for details.

By far the most common type of WAV file is "signed 16 bit PCM". As it is far more common than other types of WAV, I don't think it is unreasonable, when describing in layman's terms, to refer to it as "normal" ;)

It seems unlikely - that has a fixed minimum 48 kbps bit rate and I doubt Media Player would play it.
