[LAU] everything stops after 2.1GB

Sorry, it is both jack_rec and jack_capture.

Both use libsndfile, and neither should behave differently

when running on a 32 bit OS.

a decade.

J.C: Could it be that your libsndfile is that old?

Yes, but neither jack_rec or jack_capture uses long for this (jack_capture

uses int64_t), and jack_rec doesn't even use a counter, it just writes
and writes

until it stops. jack_capture has a counter, but that counter is only
used when writing

wav files, and only used to keep track of when to start writing on a
new file when reaching

the 4GB barrier.
