because the length
encoding fields are 32 bit. You need to generate an extended WAV with
the WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE struct that allows a 16 exabyte data chunk.
I'm a little surprised sox doesn't do that by default.
I wasn't aware that WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE covered file sizes - the spec
seems to be mostly about "higher resolution" sample formats. what did i
miss?
more portable solutions, i think, include using w64 format or even CAF,
which are both defined with (unsigned) 64 bit file size limits.
