I guess that arbitrary 16MB default maxsize is a relict of past times... let's get rid of it :-)
You make it sound like the reason for the limit was precious memory. I agree that memory often is not that precious anymore, but the real reason for this limit might have been the fact that you lose precision the higher your index for table lookup is. I guess above 16MB you even can't address every single integer anymore with 32bit float numbers. You kinda need to know what you do when exceeding that or the result may have bad sound quality.
