OIS Audio Information tool fails to run on some .wav files 1.6.0 and 1.5.5 #368

When I ran FITS 1.6.0 on a particular .wav file I got a console error like the one attached. In the fits.xml output, OIS Audio Information tool also failed to run. I will put the file in a Google drive

@paul-aloisio This bug is LIBDRS-6781. Based on what Kaylie said in the ticket, it is not possible to fix without a significant rewrite of hclaps.

The issue isn’t that the file are large, it’s that they use an internal sample representation of data using floating point instead of integers. That is totally valid, but the library we wrote for wave files doesn’t cover that way of encoding the data since MPS doesn’t work with that flavor of wave. Fixing that will probably require a rewrite of the tool fits is using and/or significant modification of that underlying library.
