[paranoia] splitting sound files?

[Christopher Jones]

Ok. This is good. I didn't even know about the head command, though I knew
about the others. But I am a bit unsure about this... the point is to cut, not
copy parts of the file. Looking at the commands quoted here, I see that dd
copies, not cuts, big.wav. 

The point is, given -very- limited hd space, not to effectively double the file
by duplicating the whole thing in bits. So when I make part0.wav, big.wav
should get smaller. 

I haven't looked into xwave, but in my searching around I found what sounds like
the command-line equivalent, called soundgrab. But again, this copies a part of
the file-- doesn't cut it.
