Using sndinfo to read some info on large soundfiles.
Is it sndlib or sox failing here?
$ sox -n -c 2 silence.au trim 0.0 10000.0
$ sndinfo silence.au | grep length
length: 10000.000000
$ sox -n -c 2 silence.wav trim 0.0 10000.0
$ sndinfo silence.wav | grep length
silence.wav: no data chunk?silence.wav: no data chunk?$
soxi reports correct duration with both files.
Making the large .wav with snd makes sndinfo report good numbers.
sndinfo and snd fails on large wav-files made with other (libsndfile
based) apps too, eg. ardour. It's ok with shorter files (< 2.1 GB?).
