libsndfile is not the limiting factor. It's the wav format that doesn't
support large files.
(The "raw" format is also handled by libsndfile, but again, libsndfile is
not to blame here,
so that doesn't matter.)

Besides this option (and -f w64 and -f CAF which has been suggested),
jack_capture continue writing to new files in case you try to write more
data than
is supported, so you can even use the default wav format for large files.
