ffmpeg wma to wav - ffmpeg

I've tried all sorts of parameters with ffmpeg to make this work, but they all result in a staticy audio file as a result.
some of what i've tried are:
ffmpeg -i file.wma file.wav
ffmpeg -sameq -i file.wma file.wav
ffmpeg -i file.wma -ar 44100 -ac 1 -ab 64000 file.wav
ffmpeg -i file.wma -vn 64000 file.wav
Here's a link to the audio file:
(Removed broken link)

It is working with ffmpeg -i Untitled.wma Untitled.wav for me, using ffmpeg from the Ubuntu repositories.

Maybe it helps.

Use Mplayer to convert wma to wav
mplayer -ao pcm:file-name-in-wav.wav file-name-in-wma.wma
or
Use FFMpeg

The solution is of course in the comment by codeforester:
#!/bin/bash
for file in *.mp3; do
ffmpeg -i "$file" -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar 44100 "${file%.mp3}".wav
done
(added 44100 per comment LordNeckbeard)
Some hints:
1) if you split your script over multiple lines, it becomes easier to spot errors like this.
2) Don't focus too much on the errors when running bash -x; it gives the on the output the commands. That what it is for. In this case:
+ ffmpeg -i '' -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 1 -ar .wav
The conclusion from this line is that ffmpeg is run with '' as input file and .wav as output.

This works fine on my OSX install, but on Ubuntu 14.04 I'm getting these errors.
What do I need to do so .webm files can be the destination?

ffmpeg pipe:0: could not find codec parameters

When i run this command i get an error. If i run without the pipe, it works.
With Pipe

Still didn't work.
MP4 container is not the best choice for piping. The muxer that made the MP4 file may place certain info at the end of the file. This info is required for proper demuxing, but is not immediately available if using a pipe. However, you have a few options:
Don't use a pipe
I don't know why you need to use a pipe in the first place. Just use the file as a normal input:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 ...
Don't use MP4
If you must use a pipe then consider using some other container such as .mkv or .ts for your input.
Re-mux your MP4 then pipe
If you must use MP4 then one method is to re-arrange the moov atom so it is at the beginning of the file:
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -movflags +faststart output.mp4

FFmpeg unable to stream

I have a simple http server for incoming MPEG stream and I'm trying to stream video from another machine on the same network. It works using ffmpeg like this
ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -i /dev/video0 -f mpeg1video http://myaddress.com:port
But from one specific computer ffmpeg refuses to stream and I can't find out why. All I can get is this output:

Your ffmpeg build is compiled with --disable-network which I assume is the problem.

FFMPEG Video encoding error

I am trying to encode my video using ffmpeg. I have taken output of each frame as a separate image and then I'm joining them into a video using ffmpeg. I compiled ffmpeg from source.
This is the command I used and the errors I keep running into!
