[issue32978] Issues with reading large float values in AIFC files

[Mark Dickinson]

I'm finding it hard to imagine why you'd ever have a sample rate greater than 1e308 in an audio file. (In fact, it's hard to imagine needing a sample rate greater than 1e6.) Raising an OverflowError for a value that's too large to fit in an IEEE 754 binary64 float seems entirely reasonable.
