Hi Folks

It seems like the file chooser does not take the `*.wav` filter into account. (I’m on KDE running Manjaro, and the juce6 tech preview.)

```auto
FileChooser chooser("Open File", File::getSpecialLocation(File::userHomeDirectory),
                        "*.wav");

```

Is this a known bug, or am I missing something.

Thanks for reporting. This should be fixed on the `develop` branch:
