Err, thats a link to a post talking about flac's WAV reader being limited
to 4Gig files. Problem is, *all* WAV files greater than 4Gig are mal-formed.
Due to limitations in the way WAV files are specified, no valid WAV file
can ever be over 4Gig.

Also, the link in that post contains a flac windows binary which is not
of much use.
