The propagation of the Alfvén waves in a plasma stream with a non-uniform density distribution is considered. It is shown that the density inhomogeneity will cause self-scattering of the wave. A longitudinal magnetic field component will be generated and part of the energy of the wave will propagate in directions deviating from the given mean magnetic field. Thus, to explain certain observed features of the solar wind, it is not necessary to appeal to a mixture of Alfvénic and magnetosonic modes.
