File size limit

    On Windows, there is no practical file size limit (I believe there is a 4G limit, but that shouldn't be an issue). On Xbox, the only file size limit is for in-memory playback. In that case, the size of a single XMA compressed wave can not exceed 8Mb. Assuming you're getting about 10:1 compression, that means your PCM wave probably be bigger than about 80Mb. (note that XMA does not have a fixed compression ratio, but rather the compression amout depends on both the file itself and the encoder's "quality" paramater setting)

    For streaming, there is no such restriction.

    For the rest, based on your "Doesn't matter got it working" comment, I'll presume you figured it out!
