Hi,

I'm currently working with the Multimedia I/O functions
(mmio...()) and are wondering whether there is a size limitation
for wave files.
I'm asking because GetFileSizeEx() does return file size information
up to 64 bit. On the other hand mmioDescend() called for the RIFF
parent chunk fills a MMCKINFO struct. But this struct specifies its
data size as a DWORD. And if I understand correctly the data size
of the RIFF chunk includes the entire wave data size.
Does that mean wave files are bounded by sizeof(DWORD) - (a few bytes...)?
Or how should I handle larger files?

thanks for any comment,
Nick
