Re: [sc-users] soundfile size advice

i am using W64 with eisenkraut, no problem, so scsynth can certainly open them. maybe is a problem of the client side SoundFile class? 

ciao, -sciss-

me and a friend have been wondering what file format to use when
reading/writing large multichannel soundfiles ( >= 4G the limit of what 
"WAV" can handle). I saw that libsndfile does read/write "W64" which
theoretically does what I want, but when trying to cue a 8G/16 channel 
file it just tells me it can't open it.


What does the sndfile-info program say about this file?


~$ sndfile-info 24ch.w64

I hope this helps. Its strange to me how SC can't read this since its
made with audacity (which afaik uses libsndfile too). Could it be that
audactity is messing it up so that SC can't read it? I doubt that thats 
the reason though as other programs can read and play this file
(i.e. ecasound).
