Normally most users get their audio packets from a file or stream
they dont choose whats in that and dont choose the size of packets

the wav demuxer has an option to choose the maximum packet size but thats
wav demuxer specific.

am i missing something ?
the 1gb was an extreem example to show the issue, real files would
likely not be that extreem but still the existence of the wav demuxer
option to choose the maximum packet size shows there was a need for
limiting it.

And if you take packets from the wav demuxer and remux them into
something else then any size you can get out of wav, you will be
able to put in and later get out of any other container.

again am i missing something ?

thx
