Yes. Chris Weber has written a programm called LargeSoundPlayer which is able
to play very long IFF Sound Files directly from hard drive with up to 29 khz
sampling rate. The problem is sampling to hard disk. We made some 3.5 MB long
files using 4 MB fast ram. Sampling directly to hard disk requires a buffer
in the sampler itself, because it is impossible to sample and write to the
hard drive at the same time.
