The TimeSpan parameter in the System.Speech.Synthesis.PromptBuilder.AppendBreak(TimeSpan) method is limited to 3043490000 ticks (5:04,349)

Any TimeSpan above 3043490000 ticks are truncated and don't give the expected behavior. As a workaround, I've had to create an AppendBreak function like this:

using System.Speech.Synthesis;
// ...
private static readonly TimeSpan MaxTicks = new TimeSpan(Int32.MaxValue);
private static void AppendBreak(in TimeSpan Delay, ref PromptBuilder Prompt)

{

var Ticks = Delay.Ticks;
while (Ticks > 0)
{
    if (Ticks >= Int32.MaxValue)
    {
        Prompt.AppendBreak(MaxTicks);
        Ticks -= Int32.MaxValue;
    }
    else
    {
        Prompt.AppendBreak(new TimeSpan(Ticks));
        Ticks = 0;
    }
}

}
