<Sound Dev> Question about changeset 10209:ef65ddb32456 - maximum chunk size for RIFFReader

[Sergey Bylokhov]

Hi.
The reason of those changes was the fact that in some cases the big 
sound files causes a dangerous hangups. Since code in some readers was 
not ready to such big streams. Please file a CR to http://bugs.java.com/ 
and send me an ID of the bug. As a workaround you can install you own 
wav reader.
