This Audio File Library is an implementation of the SGI Audio File
library.  Since the latter is specified ambiguously in places, I've
taken some liberties in interpreting certain such ambiguities.
At the present, not all features of the SGI Audio File library are
implemented.  I feel, though, that this implementation of the Audio File
Library offers enough functionality to be useful for general tasks.

This library allows the processing of audio data to and from audio
files of many common formats (currently AIFF, AIFC, WAVE, and
NeXT/Sun).

This software is not complete.  It works under many commonly
encountered configurations.  CD-quality audio formats work almost
universally.  Weird bit depths (i.e. bit depths other than 8, 16, and
32) and weird sample formats (e.g. compressed audio, BICSF, VOC, etc.)
aren't generally supported.

No documentation is available for the Audio File Library at present.
If you wish to consult some, you'll have to look at SGI's man pages.
For now, all that exists are my sample programs.  Anyone who'd like
to help out with documentation is encouraged to contact me.
