InfoAudio has worked great for files made on my Mac in 1992 with no resource forks, extensions, or descriptive names (mostly .snd, .aiff, .sdII, .au, etc) ..theres some pd patches that then use the info reported to manually override all the bitrate/endianness/samplerate/etc settings to soundfiler/sfread at http://whats-your.name/pd (player.pd maybe, or try w.pd and follow the subpatch tree).
InfoAudio is in ftp://ftp.tsp.ece.mcgill.ca//pub/AFsp/AFsp-v8r1.tar.gz5B5B
