Q: Filesizes in woody (kernel 2.4.5)

[Mario Vukelic <mario.vukelic@chello.at>]

Hi,

I've searched the list archive and google but didn't find a definite
answer. It seems kernel 2.4.x supports filesizes > 2 GB, but it seems
userland progs need to have support, too.

So, what is the maximum file size woody can handle? I'm especially
interested in sound-recorder, the fileutils, and mp3 tools (converters,
players, ...)

I want to record a radio broadcast while I'm away and use "at". Since
i'm not sure when the broadcast will start or end, it would be
convenient to be able to record for several hours, which, with 44.1 kHz
and 16 bit, produces a wav file easily bigger than 2 gigs

Any help highly appreciated,
M.
