A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Trying to read Wav-Files greater than 2 GiB results in a

RIFFInvalidDataException("Chunk size too big")

asking the AudioSystem to read it.

This change introduced it:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/jdk/rev/ef65ddb32456

But this exception just masks the underlying problem, that the readers behind are not able to read from such big streams. 1.7.0_80 does create the stream, but is unable to read from them.

As a WAVE-File can be up to 4 GiB in size it should be possible to work with files greater than the current possible 2 GiB.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Create a 3 GiB wav file:

dd if=/dev/zero of=silence.raw bs=1M count=3000
sox -r 16k -e signed -b 8 -c 1 silence.raw silence.wav

2. Compile the Sound.java

javac Sound.java

3. Run the Code.

java Sound /tmp/silence.wav


EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Creates an InputStream to work with the Wav-File, where i can read the complete stream.
Note: Using 1.7.0_80 i can create the stream but reading always results in 0 bytes read.
ACTUAL -
java Sound /tmp/silence.wav
