I never much liked the VIO layer. It was only ever added because
a large number of people requested it. I think its fragile and
it exposes too much of libsndfile internals to the user.

I would be surprised if reset-by-seek didn't work on standard
WAV/AIFF etc files with PCM data accessed via the standard
sf_read/write* functions.
