wodim: Inappropriate audio coding

I'm trying to burn an audio CD by following the instructions in the wiki, but I keep getting the following error:

wodim: Inappropriate audio coding in '01_peter_duck.wav'.

I've successfully used these instructions to burn two CDs already this evening, but it's getting stuck on this one.

Googling the problem suggested that it might need to be 16 bit and 44100 Hz, but it is:

file 01_peter_duck.wav 
01_peter_duck.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 44100 Hz

What am I missing?

Perhaps it needs to be stereo?

Re: wodim: Inappropriate audio coding

GooglesGuy is right. The track has to be 16bit stereo 44100 Hz to burn.
You can use

sox input.wav -c 2 output.wav

To quickly convert the track into stereo, or any other application really.
