Splitting WavPack files when the .cue file and .wv file have different names?

If a directory contains an album encoded as one large .wv file and a .cue file, splitting the entire album into individual .flac tracks is a simple task: $ cuebreakpoints foo.cue | shnsplit -o flac foo.wv What I'd like to know is how to split a file where the names don't match up, e.g.: 'foobar.wv' and 'foo.cue'. If I attempt this I get this error message: shnsplit: warning: none of the builtin format modules handle input file: [foobar.wv] shnsplit: error: cannot continue due to error(s) shown above Do I need to alter the .cue file? Because simply renaming 'foobar.wv' to 'foo.wv' prior to splitting doesn't seem to work for me. Or is there something wrong with the wavpack package? PS: I didn't know how to tag this question properly. Sorry 'bout that. **Some more info** To be clear, I should point out that the text inside the .cue files points to the appropriate .wv files. **Yet more info** I'm having a bit of luck, for whatever reason, by decompressing the .wv to .wav and then altering the .cue file accordingly. Not ideal but it's working so far.
