I think there's a "w64" format that goes above the 2G limit of wav files. Timemachine uses it by default (through libsndfile, I think), and Ardour is going to use it in its new 2.x version, otherwise length of recording time available for high sampling rates becomes unacceptably low. -- Fernando _______________________________________________ Cmdist mailing list [email protected] http://ccrma-mail.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/cmdist
