Anyone knows which tool was used to create wavc files here? Wavc.exe? I'm trying to find a copy of the source.

Erephine likely used wav2wavc.exe, which you have packaged nowadays in a nice set of tools (PS GUI) compliments of Sam.

Thanks, do you know if there's source available for either? I checked Sam's github, don't see it there.
Edit: well, found PSGui source inside the packages, apparently it's just and AHK script, but what I'm interested in is actual recoding.
Edit2: oh, I'm blind. It's ConvertWAVtoWAVC function. All's good then, thank you.

The WAVC file format is just an ACM file with an additional header. I do not have the source code to wavc.exe, but I do have the source code to ABel's acmlab (including snd2acm.exe), although he has asked me not to redistribute it. Alternatively, there was a libacm project that might be of interest, or if you don't mind java, you can look through NearInfinity's source code to see how it does the encoding/decoding.

Yes, I know.
Anyway, the deal is that if whoever gets to update the mod, it'd be good to fix sample rate in the files themselves (both acm and wavc headers)
Makes no difference in vanilla game, but will allow GemRB to play them properly.
Probably better to fix the tools themselves and recode, but if that's not possible, weidu after-patching would work too.

The ACM headers tend to lie. Post-processing them is currently the most viable option. Erroneous channel counts in ACM headers is a problem that has been around since the beginning. IIRC, snd2acm.exe is written in an old version of Delphi, which is not a language I am familiar with or know how to compile.
