Is there a way to get timemachine to "always" output wav files? It's
annoying that it creates this weird W64 file that no program can play
except sndfile-play, which is an annoying command-line program and
won't output to JACK anyway. Is there a .timemachine file or
something where I can set settings?
If not, how do I convert w64 files to wav? sndfile-convert doesn't
seem to work, as rezound says "warning -- libaudiofile reports that
/home/omegatron/tm-2005-02-16T21:47:44.wav contains 96670161848201472
sample frames yet the file is most likely not large enough to contain
that many samples.
Loading what can be loaded."
Also I think I just damaged my eardrums so I'm really mad at everything. :-)

Big problem there. Valid WAV files cannot be larger than 4 gig. Many
programs won't open a WAV file larger than 2 Gig. 2 Gig is 90 minutes
of stereo float data at 48kHz.
W64 allows files very much larger (2^63 bytes).

Would it help if sndfile-play had a Jack back end?

Seems to work here with small files. Can you be more specific?
as rezound says "warning -- libaudiofile reports
that

Does libaudiofile even support the W64 file format?
Any editor which uses libsndfile should read that file quite happily.
I use Sweep (http://sweep.sf.net) but Audacity should also work.

The main confusion about C++ is that its practitioners think
it is simultaneously a high and low level language when in
reality it is good at neither.

No, but I'l consider that a feature request.

You could lobby the rezound developers to add W64 support, its much better
if you're working with long, or multichannel files.

You might also change the file extension you use for W64 files.
Its far less confusing if you used ".w64" for these files
instead if ".wav".

The easiest way for this to happen is to replace the libaudiofile
support in rezound with libsndfile support. It may even be possible
to support both.

Yup, just been there... transferred some material from an external
recorder using timemachine, converted it using audacity and finally
edited it in rezound :)
cheers,

Put
alias timemachine='timemachine -f wav'
in ~/.bashrc but note that timemachine's wav output is
WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT (32 bit) instead of the ubiquitious
WAVE_FORMAT_PCM (16bit) you might expect.

Yup, good point. Last time I tried rezound didn't even load float WAVs, so
you may be out of luck there.
I won't be supporting any recording formats other than float, before
anyone asks :)
