You should be able to load fairly large files to tables with the -resize 
option combined with -maxsize option. But there is obviously a limit. I 
remember being able to load more than 1 hours of 441.k "mono" files 
through soundfiler.

So sending
[read -resize -maxsize 99999999 soundfile.wav(

to soundfiler object should work. obviously there is a limit to that 
maxsize sample length, and I'm not really sure about the number(and what 
limits it), but this limit may have something to do with your memory 
limits set in /etc/security/limits.conf if you are on linux but its just 
a guess.
