Hi People,

I am currently adding support for Sonic Foundry's 64 bit wave files to
libsndfile:

    http://www.zip.com.au/~erikd/libsndfile/

This file format is used by the program ACID and usually comes with a w64
filename extension and if you do a hexdup of the first part of the file,
they look something like this:

00000000: 72 69 66 66 2E 91 CF 11 A5 D6 28 DB 04 C1 00 00 riff.... ..(.....
00000010: C8 F7 00 00 00 00 00 00 77 61 76 65 F3 AC D3 11 ........ wave....
00000020: 8C D1 00 C0 4F 8E DB 8A 66 6D 74 20 F3 AC D3 11 ....O... fmt ....
00000030: 8C D1 00 C0 4F 8E DB 8A 28 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ....O... (.......
00000040: 01 00 02 00 44 AC 00 00 10 B1 02 00 04 00 10 00 ....D... ........
00000050: 64 61 74 61 F3 AC D3 11 8C D1 00 C0 4F 8E DB 8A data.... ....O...

I currently have one example of this file format and I need more. The single
file I have is a 16 bit stereo file. I need some more files and what I'm
looking for (if they are available) is as follows:

   - a mono file of any bitwidth
   - files containing more than 2 channels
   - files containing 8, 24 or 32 bit PCM data
   - files containing float or double data
   - files containing looping and other information
   - files containing encoded data (ie not PCM nor float/double)

If anybody wishes to help this Free Software project by supplying examples files
I would be very pleased to hear from them. Please don't email files to me without
asking first as I would like to prevent my mail box from overflowing with
multiple copies of the same file.

Regards,
Erik

The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola 
burns longer.
