Yes, I know. But since it's not openable in any of the programs I
want to use it in, and the recordings are much less than 90 minutes,
I'd like to just use WAV for now.

If sndfile-play could output to JACK, that would be nice, but I
probably wouldn't use it unless I had to. In other words, if
alsaplayer or something like that could handle W64 files instead, that
would be better.

Didn't work for me. Maybe my original was somehow corrupted? I
showed the specific error below.

It was opening a WAV converted by sndfile-convert, not a W64.

Ok.

:-) I was angry; sorry. It would be great if there was a hidden file
that you could set defaults in for all the command-line switches, file
name format (time and date) and whatever.

I'm going to do that.

This is the way it currently works for me.

I'm going to ask them.
