What is a 10MB WAV file useful for?
A 10 MB WAV at 44.1 kHz 16-bit stereo provides approximately 60 seconds of uncompressed audio — a common size for professional sound effects, recording session takes, and audio stems in post-production workflows. Use it to test that audio upload processing is asynchronous (WAV transcoding plus waveform generation for 60 seconds takes several seconds), that your pipeline handles the full RIFF chunk without loading the data chunk into RAM unnecessarily, and to verify correct header-only metadata extraction.
What's inside this file?
Generated by ffmpeg. A 440 Hz sine tone approximately 60 seconds long at 44.1 kHz, 16-bit PCM, stereo. The data chunk contains approximately 5,292,000 stereo samples — approximately 10.58 MB of raw sample data. The RIFF header overhead is 44 bytes. Loading this file with librosa expands it to approximately 45 MB of float32 sample data in RAM (conversion from int16 to float32 doubles the sample size, times 2 channels).
