oh i see. i have to do that myself. since i'm new at audio
programming, i just assumed that the point of Extended Audio File was
to load and play a large audio file piecemeal - that it did it for me
as part of the framework.
can you refer to me to samples or appropriate documentation so that i
can learn how to accomplish this? i'm thinking it would be ideal to
supply my code with a file size limit, so that if a particular sound
file is larger than to only play that file in stages.

Load a few seconds of audio at a time, split those few seconds into smaller segments, and when a particular segment finishes playing, load another segment until you've gone through the entire file.
