[Live-devel] ucEOF check

Matt,

Until your note, I wasn't aware of WAV_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE files (but I found 
a good description online at 
<http://www.soundslogical.com/support/resample/documentation/english/documentparts/resamplehelp-27.html>).

If you end up updating "WAVAudioFileSource.cpp" to support such files, then 
please send us the patch, and I'll see if I can incorporate this into a 
future release.
