Its better to use the standard libaudiofile (which ao. gnome uses), and
add the following definitions:

#ifdef GNOME_AUDIOFILE
/* Michael PruettAudiofilelib */
#define AFreadframes afReadFrames
#define AFwriteframes afWriteFrames
#define AFopenfile afOpenFile
#define AFgetchannels afGetChannels
#define AFgetrate afGetRate
#define AFgetcompression afGetCompression
#define AFgetfilefmt afGetFileFormat
#define AFgetsampfmt afGetSampleFormat
#define AFgetframecnt afGetFrameCount
#define AFclosefile afCloseFile
#define AFclosefile afCloseFile
#define AFseekframe afSeekFrame
#define AFclosefile afCloseFile
#define AFnewfilesetup afNewFileSetup
#define AFfreefilesetup afFreeFileSetup
#define AFinitchannels afInitChannels
#define AFinitrate afInitRate
#define AFinitcompression afInitCompression
#define AFinitfilefmt afInitFileFormat
#define AFinitsampfmt afInitSampleFormat
/* to satisfy the linker , compression not supported */
int afGetCompression (AFfilehandle fh, int track)
{
  return AF_COMPRESSION_NONE;
}
void afInitCompression (AFfilesetup afs, int track, int compression)
{
}
#endif


Then you can read wav files etc. Not just aiff.
