Operator overloading is lovely. When reading fixed size audio chunks a
function call syntax makes more sense though (how else would you specify
the chunk size? sndfile>>setw(1024)>>my_buffer is a bit too weird).

I use ClassNames and function_names all the time. I think it makes it

I agree - the libsndfile API is simple enough to fit into C++ code quite
nicely.
