ahem... what are you trying to do ? <?xml version="1.0"?> <audio:wav xmlns:audio="http://...";> <file> <sample channel="left" value="0.0" id="0"> <sample channel="right" value="0.0" id="1"> .... </file> </audio> ? ;) xml is most certainly not the format for 5 megs of _analysis_data_. a CSV list is probably better suited for the job.
