There was a version of LAME that used the 0.0.X series of libsndfile
for file I/O. I don't know hat happened to that. Its pretty trivial
to update that code to use 1.0.X libsndfile.

sndfile-convert understands -pcm16, -pcm24 and others.

It only uses the file extension to figure out the desination
file's container type (AU, AIFF, WAV etc).
