I have no idea exactly what foobar2000 is doing, but I have read several times already that guessing the duration of an Elementary Stream with variable bitrate can be tricky (there is no container to tell you the true duration, after all).

Some players have problems with WAV files larger than 2 GB. If your player doesn't play the whole file, try using the .w64 format for conversion instead of .wav (no worries, both formats are lossless). If your player plays the whole file but displays a wrong duration, you don't have to convert to .w64, although of course it shouldn't harm things.

Same as above, WAV files greater than 2 GB may be problematic. However, before I mention that you may need to look for a switch to convert the whole file to AAC, make sure the --ignorelength parameter is present. Alternatively, you can also use the .w64 approach mentiond above, if qaac can handle .w64 files.
