In the case of some devices, I expect they have trouble with `bigger
than 32 bit addressing' (i.e., 4GB) if nothing else.

<http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=file+size+limit+for+audiobooks>

gave this - seems like it's based on empirical data and therefore
useful:

<http://lodensoftware.com/forum/index.php?topic=5.0>

(visit the page for its dead useful graph)

"I have found that neither length in hours or the file size appear to
the main driver for the stability issues."

"I have found that if the number of audio samples exceeds approximately
650 to 700 million samples, then the stability problems occur."
