I'm in the hunt for Linux-based command line tools that might conspire

concatenate a string of WAV files
cat a.wav b.wav ab.wav
Hi Robert,
Thanks for the response. I've been tempted to try that... figuring
it couldn't be that easy. Is the file format of WAV such that that
works all the time, or are there headers that really should be
rewritten or... ?
It won't work, there is a header that not only includes the type of
file, but info on the actual .wav and it's length. Those will not
be updated with the cat command, and I would think the headers would
even land inside the One Big Wav.
There are bound to be lots of programs that do the deed.
wavemixer would seem to be one, I say "seem" because it wouldn't run
when I tried it (a missing lib I think). But it's not really
a complicated task, it just has to deal with the header.
