As far as I am aware, conjoining .wav files is not that simple.  While
cat joins the files together, it doesn't take into
account the RIFF header at the beginning of each one.  Thus you get a
combined file that thinks it is only as long
as the first sample in the list.  You either need a program that can
join them correctly for you, or you take the headers
into account when joining them, and adjust the parameters of the
resulting file accordingly.
