I read the seek chunk's packet count big-endian; it is little-endian at seek+12, with size == 8 + 4*count. And a seek sits immediately AFTER its own data, so an entry's first seek usually belongs to the PREVIOUS bank (implied start -25232 for D_452, -145988 for TCAF_608). I was comparing an entry's first seek against its first data -- different waves by construction, which is why no reading lined up. With that fixed, the declared sizes are honest: every RIFF-bearing entry on the disc has seek magic at exactly data_at + declared_size with count*2048 == declared. 7620/7620, zero failures. VOICE_TCAF_608 is not truncated. Its Channels is 2 and I decoded it as mono; read as stereo it gives 6520176 bytes = 33.96 s, agreeing with both length signals in the bank (33.88 s from cumulative samples, 33.97 s from PsuedoBytesPerSec). 170 of 8021 banks (2.12%) are stereo -- exactly the rate of my 1-in-60 outlier. This is the mono/stereo trap already documented on this very page, met from the other direction: I had written 'at two channels every bank yields one frame' and then spent several passes blaming missing data for a one-frame decode. Code fix: to_xma_riffs built the leading segment with a hard-wired mono fmt. It now reads Channels from the bank's first RIFF. 7 disc tests pass.
