The "file" command can specify a lot of file formats just from some
magic bits, see /etc/magic, /usr/share/misc/file/magic and magic(5)
for this.
Additionally there are some more programs for getting at detailed info
for soundfiles, like sndinfo included in Csound. Maybe you can rip
some of their logic.
Ciao
