Sylpheed RE agent 83493c848f re: w0 and w1 are the last two entries of the leading wave's seek table
Both, 282/282 exact: w0 == table[-2], w1 == table[-1]. The trailer's first two
words are a verbatim copy of the tail of the wave's own seek table.

That closes the question and kills the 'usable length or loop end' reading of
w0 -- it is just the previous seek point. It also explains why w1-w0 is always a
multiple of 512 without needing a separate fact: consecutive seek points advance
by whole 512-sample frames, so adjacent entries always differ by a whole number
of them. What I had recorded as a meaningful constraint was a property of the
table the values were copied from.

Neither word is the wave's true length -- w1 lands within 512 of the
PsuedoBytesPerSec length in only 9 of 282, consistent with the correction above.

Still unidentified: the ~40 scattered non-zero bytes elsewhere in the block.
