Hello,

  I think the problem is laying in xl/metadata/wav.py, the type_map'ing is not working as expected for wav files.
I played with pdb, and it turns out that the code goes straight to the exception.

Removing the type_map as below fixes the problem;

< opener = type_map[sndhdr.what(self.loc)]
< f = opener.open(self.loc, "rb")
---
> f = wave.open(self.loc, "rb")

The patch proposed by Kalou seems to work for me. It also solves #153929.

After discussing with Aren on #exaile the patch removes the support of aiff, snd and au file formats.
A specific wav module might be needed.

should be fixed in trunk/2714. detection is now based on file extension instead of sndhdr.

The fix committed in 2714 seems to work for me.
Thanks

Marking this Triaged in Ubuntu since upstream is fixing it.
