[BUG] Windows 10 Explorer Crashes Doing Metadata Lookups on Some WAV Files

Windows 10 explorer.exe crashes (and then restarts) when browsing folders containing .wav files.

The issue seems to be in the PropertySystem lookup when trying to extract metadata.

Affected System: Windows 10 Professional 1607 (v10.0.15063).

The parameters do not change.

(I have not done extensive research to figure out exactly what in the WAV files it's not happy with.)

It's not the file association mapping itself, I've tried changing that and there's no effect.

It's the property system's lookup.

If someone at Microsoft would like a sample .wav file that definately causes this issue, please contact me.

(I should note, Windows 7 browsing a folder with the same .wav file does not crash.)

I can confirm this bug happens on the latest Windows 10 Build 15063.483

This WAV header is ok in Windows Explorer:

00000000 52 49 46 46 04 66 07 00 57 41 56 45 66 6d 74 20 |RIFF.f..WAVEfmt |
00000010 10 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 |........|
00000018

This WAV header produces a crash

00000000 52 49 46 46 b8 93 02 00 57 41 56 45 66 6d 74 20 |RIFF....WAVEfmt |
00000010 10 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 |........|

<Data>Not available</Data>

<Data>explorer.exe</Data>

<Data>mfsrcsnk.dll</Data>

Here is the debug. Looks like the issue is with CWAVFileParser::ParseWAVFormat

Happens here as well, for a 20-bit file !

Here's the diff against the 24-bit source file that has been saved to 20-bit:

> fc /b sample_20.wav.q sample_24.wav
Comparing files sample_20.wav.q and SAMPLE_24.WAV
