the 2GB limit went away some time ago in glibc. you do have to use
different functions, but thats because POSIX says so (open64, close64, etc).
note that for multitrack recording, writing only is not a valid
test. you will always want *some* playback to accompany new tracks.

too bad linus didn't design for mmap to be used that way :)
