I had the same problem, when doing all the new ambient sounds in Remake Quake.

For the record, you need a software that can set control points (German: Referenzpunkte). Goldwave is free and does this, for example.

You open the wav file, and you use the tools option to set a control point. Just set it at the beginning of your wav and name it "start" or similar. Save.

Some audio editing tools remove these control points - Normalize for Linux, for example. You'll need to recreate the control point after editing the wav with such tools.

Quake gives an error message if the wav file isn't looped (and won't play it in that case).

This is just for the record.
