Davinci Resolve does not import MP3 files in media pool

Using a hex editor it turned out that the files had the file ending MP3 but were actually WAV files. Changing the extension to WAV (ren *.mp3 *.wav) fixed the issue. The WAV files were imported and shown as expected.

    I am trying to add MP3 files to the media pool of Davinci Resolve. I do so by right clicking and choosing "Import Media ..." (Shortcut Ctrl+I). The files are visible and selectable in the file open dialog, but after adding, they do not appear in the media pool.

    What could be wrong here?
