Error Message of "Invalid wave file RIFF header" with various valid wav files

Hello @GFNiko ,
As you can see, that exception is only thrown if the stream which is provided, doesn't contain RIFF header (as all wave file should do): https://github.com/sandrohanea/whisper.net/blob/b397baa30ae11ede6110dd764c5e2b44a5793bcc/Whisper.net/Wave/WaveParser.cs#LL150C23-L150C45

I suspect you set the file in a different path or you passed a stream which is already consumed.

In order to debug this further you can display the first 4 chars in the header (at like 78 in the demo): using var fileStream = File.OpenRead(opt.FileName);

                var buffer = new byte[4];
		fileStream.Read(buffer, 0, 4);
		Console.WriteLine(System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer));
		fileStream.Position = 0;

Changing the file location helped. Strange behaviour if you ask me. Anyways, thank you very much for your help :)
