Output seems incompatible with libsndfile

[sciss]

Hi,

I'm getting libsndfile errors playing back a generated file with SuperCollider. It looks like this:

File '/data/audio_work/out.wav' could not be opened: Error in WAV file. No 'data' chunk marker.

I can open the file in my own software and rewrite it into a "clean" file, and then it works.

More info:

$ sndfile-info /data/audio_work/out.wav

Sorry, I forgot to mention how the file was created:

    ./reverb /data/audio_work/test.wav /data/audio_work/out.wav 1 0 10 0.5 0 5

N.B. AIFF output files seem fine.

The libsndfile report seems to show that the file only extends to the end of the (large) header chunk, hence no "data" chunk. This can happen if the program aborts prematurely for some reason before writing any audio. I can't reproduce the problem here (reverb runs to completion using those arguments). Is the length of the file (as shown by the OS) what would be expected? CDP programs use a header (whether WAVE or AIFF) much larger than a typical "minimum"  header, something over 2Kbytes.
