I beleive reason is bcz uncompressed ac3 file is bigger than 4GB!
This is the problem for the wav limit 4 GB. And 2 GB limit is for soft using 'signed long int' for these fields.
The faad decoder (aac) can generate 'invalid' wav's > 4 GB, and fill these fields (RiffLength and DataLength) with 0xFFFFFF00.
Foobar also make 'invalid' wav's > 4 GB, and fill these fields with the 4 low order bytes.
I prefer the faad method (0xFFFFFF00) because Foobar method can be confused with valid fields.
yes I decompressed it to wav and file has over 6GB size and is not properly played by foobar (shows only 2 hours run time and ac3 is 3 hours).
