I just tested--the wavfile and wavdata verbs, at least, seem to work
without issue on linux. I expect it is only playback that is
windows-specific. Are you specifically looking to perform playback, or
only analysis?
I tried wavdata on a 44mb wav file, and it produced a result without
issue, so I do not think there are size limitations. It's possible there
are nonstandard chunks in the file which are messing the parser up. Try
running e.g. 'ffmpeg -i x.wav y.wav', if your file is x.wav, and see if
you have better luck processing y.wav.

I have been investigating some data in the form of .wav files taken with
a compact digital audio recorder. In the addons I found the tools by
Oleg K under media/wav. One limitation is that they seem to work only
under windows. I normally work under Ubuntu linux or even Mac OS. I do
have a PC with j903 installed, and the media/wav examples work on that
machine. Has anyone tried to extend this addon to other operating
systems, or are there significant obstacles with other OS's?
I also find that in trying to analyze my own .wav files which are fairly
large (~14 Mb), while wavinfo works fine, wavdata fails with an index
error or spelling error. I wonder if there are size limitations that are
the problem, or just some mistake of mine.
Anyway, if there are resources or further information on .wav files
under J (I've not searched extensively) I'd be interested to learn
about them.
Thanks, Patrick
