No, and that's something that's a minor irritant to me. Every program
cobbles together it's own WAV handling. Even worse inside a project
there'll be multiple programs that each do their own WAV handling.
Mjpegtools has at least 2, perhaps 3, different ways of dealing with
WAV files.
Naturally this leads to each program having to find and fix 64bit
and endian issues over and over. In the case of x86_64 the primary
problem is the use of 'long' in the WAV header definition. On a 32
bit system that's 4 bytes but on a 64bit system it's 8 bytes. Correct
data type to use is "uint32_t" which is 4 bytes everywhere (at least
everywhere that a byte is 8 bits ;)).

Ah, ok. Been eons since I tried to get that to work. Never did have
much success - but the whole issue was overcome by events by moving
to DV.

Yeah, it is a twisty maze of programs.

Works fine. I've both an amd64 and a G5/PPC so I had the "fun" of fixing
both types of bugs :)
