RF64 support sure would be nice, but it wouldn't really help to do this "instead of" CAF. For one thing, Logic Studio Pro does not seem to support RF64, because the manual states that WAVE and BWF are limited to 4 GB. CAF may be a format which lacks universal support, but RF64 is also very limited in usefulness. Treating either one as a substitute for the other is not going to help.
Personally, I'd welcome support for either or both. With an open- source project like this, I'm not going to complain about any added features, so long as we all understand that there is no substitute for CAF.

CAF does not have the same 4 GB limitations.

Supporting RF64 instead of CAF would solve Brian's problem equally well, and would be the natural extension to supporting WAVE.
