However, we check its return value for errors, and if anything but noErr occurs, the reader thread aborts its current iteration. That is bad, because it aborts before it can ever set the flag which tells that the file is over (also, any remaining data which FSRead did return is lost - so you'd not hear about to 4 seconds from the end of the file. Furthermore, the computed data size was 8 bytes to high (I forgot to account for the fact that the size of an (A)IFF chunk always contains the chunk header & size fields, too). This is enough to make it work. However, the end condition is rather fragile, so I tuned some other things to be pessimistic (check for <= 0 instead of == 0, when eofErr is encountered enforce mReadFilePosition == mFileLength). You never know... The attached patch fixes the issue for me.
