Hi, I have a large wav file of 2.1 gig. I have noticed that MPlayer cannot 'seek' within this file after a certain limit, about 03:25:00 into the file: +--------------- andrew at skamandros~/music/4tet$ mplayer -ss 03:25:00 4tet1.wav MPlayer dev-SVN-r27911-4.2.3 (C) 2000-2008 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T5500 @ 1.66GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 2) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 Playing 4tet1.wav.
