When you click the wav file and it launches in kmplayer, keep the file highlighted in km and open the km menu (clicking the titlebar). There is an option to select player there.

How did you do this?

Install gainroot if you haven't, then type "root" to get into root mode.

Then
Code:
vi /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
Edit the entry for x-wav as above (note, in vi, key 'x' to delete a letter, key 'i' to get into insert mode, key 'esc' to exit insert mode. ':wq' to write and quit).

Or just install leafpad and do
Code:
leafpad /usr/share/applications/defaults.list
and edit it with a familiar gui.

This was all working fine until I did the reflash for PR1.2.

I made the changes to the file as per above and it now opens the correct player but it does not play the file. When I click on play or the file it briefly flashes and that's it. There is no actual playing of the file.

Any ideas?

Try saving the file to disk and playing it with mplayer

mplayer <filename>

If this works, then it is probably some issue with kmplayer. If it doesn't work, then the error message should provide some insight.
