Libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled
sound (such as MS Windows WAV and the Apple/SGI AIFF format) through one
standard library interface. It is released in source code format under the Gnu
Lesser General Public License. 

The library was written to compile and run on a Linux system but should compile
and run on just about any Unix (including MacOSX). It can also be compiled and
run on Win32 systems using the Microsoft compiler and MacOS (OS9 and earlier)
using the Metrowerks compiler. There are directions for compiling libsndfile on
these platforms in the Win32 and MacOS directories of the source code
distribution. 

It was designed to handle both little-endian (such as WAV) and big-endian (such
as AIFF) data, and to compile and run correctly on little-endian (such as Intel
and DEC/Compaq Alpha) processor systems as well as big-endian processor systems
such as Motorola 68k, Power PC, MIPS and Sparc. Hopefully the design of the
library will also make it easy to extend for reading and writing new sound file
formats.
