Darn, I just found there's a feature request for just that from IOhannes pending since 2007.

Hi,
after some research, it seems more related to the size of the file after all. I thought the problem was 32 bits files because it worked when I converted them to 16 bits. But it was just the file size dropped under 2gb.
To sum up: a file over about 2Gb fails to open. This is related to how Linux handles large files on 32 bits systems.
On my test patch I get the "done" bang as soon as I send the "start" message.
Reading the code, it looks like the s_path.c/sys_open() oflags is missing O_LARGEFILE support. pd-extended and pd-l2ork suffer from the same.
Am I right there's no Large File Support for pd on 32 bits Linux ? If so that's a major shortcoming, and something a bit heavy to fix. Does it work out of the box on 64 bits linux ?
Thanks,

Sounds like it, especially if you can reproduce it everytime. File a bug report and include as simple a patch as possible to reproduce the issue, and the soundfile.
today I noticed a readsf~ (on vanilla) opening a 5 wave file containing 32 bits float audio fails silently. The doc says 4 bytes is unavailable for AIFF, but I use WAVE.
The file is a 5 channels WAVE file with 5 tracks 32bits float at 48kHz.
Converting the audio to 16 bits PCM works.
Is that a bug ? On vanilla 0.44.
