Bug Description

When using the File Explorer I cannot listen to Wavpack files (.wv extension). The File explorer doesn't even recognise the Wavpack containing folders as having any music files in. Looking at the source code of Decibel it looks like Wavpack is not supported. Please could you add support for it? Rhythmbox plays the Wavpack files back fine and I don't want to transcode all my Wavpack rips to FLAC or switch to Rhythmbox. Thanks.

Could you provide a sample Wavpack file (without copyright issues) that I could use for tests?

No problem. How do you want me to send this to you? I think gmail has
an attachment size limit. I'm going to convert a file from the Internet
Archive's live recordings section. Bands that allow non-commercial
sharing of live recordings host their live shows there.

Bardo Pond are a 'taper-friendly' band that allowing taping and non-commercial sharing of live recordings.
