   How long is the recording? If the WAV file is larger than 2 GB,   
   there are a number of "music" programs that have a bug in them   
   that will prevent them from opening or otherwise managing a WAV   
   file.   
      
   The bug exists because the WAV spec defines the maximum chunk   
   size as a 32-bit UNsigned integer (which means it can be up   
   to 4 gB), but an awful lot of programs use SIGNED 32-bit integers,   
   which allow only 2 GB maximum.   
      
   THis may or may not be your issue: but if the file is VERY large,   
   it could be this is your problem.
