A wav file is smply PCM audio data, it is possible to calculate the size
of each sample of data, as there is no compression involved. Then you
can simply use the split command to split the file into sizes you like
as long as they align on a boundry of a sound sample

I dont know how to convert between iso and nero but, if speed isnt of
the essense, write a cd and then dd the cd onto your linux filesystem. I
thought that nero could write ISO however, I know it can certainly read
it.
Alternatively, use gcombust or another linux cd program to create an iso
natively on linux.
