I've just downloaded all the examples, and will start loooking at them;
but it is obvious that the Csound sndinfo app should give an error if it
hasn't found a SSND chunk. It has a flag it sets, but doesn't test for
it at the end of parsing. As I am working on 24bit file support for
Csound, I can add this extra error checking generally. There is a small
linux program called 'basef' by Toby Shepard (toby_AT_rcsreg.com according
to my copy) which does scanning of AIFF chunks, might be more useful for
this task?
One idle thought: with the files you have tried to create, what happens
if the APPL chunk is either absent, or (by using a hex editor on an
original) the APPL chink has a different signature ID?
