Could you try replacing only libaudiofile-1.dll in a copy of the new build with the DLL from 1.7.0 and let me know what happens? That won't work because of different entry point addresses.
We used a different build chain after 1.7.0 and it had an older WAV library. I've got an untested update here, could you give it a try? This build works for me. I think it could be related to an unpatched libaudiofile.
