... as will any other POSIX-conforming split, including FreeBSD's.  But
you need more than that because wav files have a header that you'll
have to duplicate onto each output file.  You can use the sox port to
convert the wav file into a raw pcm file that can be split up, then
convert the pieces back to wavs with sox again.
