The 4 different overloaded versions of the read, readf, write, and
writef functions will cause ambiguities that will force you to cast them
to their respective types in order to use pointers to them, for example
in functors (e.g. a sigc++ slot), like this:

  mem_fun(sndobj, (sf_count_t (Sndfile::*)(float*,
sf_count_t))&Sndfile::read);

If they were specialisations of the same template functions instead,
with the sample type as template parameter, you'd only have to write
this:

  mem_fun(sndobj, &Sndfile::read<float>);

which is a lot nicer and easier to read.
