When I use 'WAV Breaker File Splitter' to divide large WAV's (22,050Hz) into equal parts and recode them as OGG files, invariably, up to half a second of audio is missing from each piece when played back. When listening to audio-books, this can amount to 1-2 words, which can be confusing and annoying. Initially I was recoding with 'Fairstars Audio converter' via Wine and presumed this was a Wine glitch of some kind. However, after installing the Linux applications, 'Sound Converter' & 'OggConverter', I'm dismayed to find the very same thing is occurring! Note that the big WAV is split perfectly - using 'Sound Converter' to recode to MP3's results in perfect and seamless playback.
So, I'm trying to establish is this a bug with the OGG codec itself (unbelievable that something this 'big' could have been missed!) or is it down to little/no checking/debugging by the application coders?
