No sound in motivewave - MediaException: Could not create player!

Hello,

I am trying to get the sound working for the motivewave 6.8.8-1 package that runs with javafx. When I try to play a wav file that is included in the software package I get the following error:

Exception in thread "Thread-88" com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaException: Could not create player!
        at javafx.media@21.0.2/com.sun.media.jfxmediaimpl.NativeMediaManager.getPlayer(NativeMediaManager.java:299)
        at javafx.media@21.0.2/com.sun.media.jfxmedia.MediaManager.getPlayer(MediaManager.java:118)

I have tried to implement the solution posted in the arch wiki (JavaFX's MediaPlayer constructor throws an exception) by installing ffmpeg-compat-57 and alternatively by installing ffmpeg3.4 but it didn't change anything.
