sndfile-salvage - salvage audio data from WAV files longer than 4G
sndfile-salvage toolong.wav fixed64.wav
Audio files using the WAV file container are inherently limited to 4G
of data size fields in the WAV header being stored as unsigned 32bit
integers. Many applications have trouble with these WAV files that are
more the 4G in size. sndfile-salvage rewrites the WAV file into a W64
file with the same audio content. This file is overwritten if it
already exists.
The sndfile-salvage utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error
occurs.
