I don't know if this is part of the culprit, since Gale mentioned
having a problem with a 1 sec wav file, but 30 seconds (at 44.1khz) is
a magic number for OD.  Even if OD is on and you import a file less
than 30 seconds it is imported using the old alias-block file method
(because the overhead to start the import and ODManager thread aren't
worth it.)
