Quick update:

I've just loaded the DUCK_OF12.wav file which worked the other night into Audacity and that (leaderless) file is about 18 seconds long.

I then loaded the DUCK_0F12.wav file generated with the newest version of MK14WAVwrite and that file, even with the two second silence on the front, is exactly the same length (18 seconds) - in other words it looks like the original 18 seconds of audio tones has been compressed into 16 seconds, which of course means that the data rate / byte lengths will be correspondingly higher / shorter.

I don't know if this was an intentional change by TS so I'll await further input from him before trying any further testing.
