I didn't manage to get to the bottom of which piece of software
was causing the problem.

From the POV of libsndfile, it has had Large File Support (which
makes file offsets 64 bit signed values) on 32 bit systems for over
a decade.

However, it is possible for other software using libsndfile incorrectly
(ie using a 32 bit integer to store file offsets) to cause this sort
of a problem, but then I would expect it to go wrong on 64 bit systems
because `int` is 32 bits there too. However on 32 bit Linux systems,
`long` whereas it us 64 bits on 64 bit Linux systems.
