Unsupported chunk aren't return from read functions, and cannot be pass to write functions. This means that if you had bext infos (Originator, Description etc) it will stripped if you read + write file.

The read function has a ton of parameters, and all they do is turn on or off different outputs, though the work of reading them is done either way. It would probably be better to output the metadata as a dictionary, with keys like 'cuelabels', etc

A function to update a file rather than rewriting it entirely would be far quicker for huge files.

Some chunk could be just nulled and duplicated at the end.

In Adobe Audition/Ocenaudio/REAPER, I can see markers that span a length of time, but after reading them with this function, I only see the start time.

write doesn't follow the most used conventions for written waves, like having LIST in the end of the file (I think this is supposed to allows faster addition / deletion without having to offfset everything)

Loops should return points ID so that they can be linked to label, and all other metadata.

You can add the IPRT tag to the list_info_index. This tag contains information about the track number and total number of tracks recorded in the WAV file, if available. This information can be used to determine the exact position of the track within the album or playlist.
