[LAD] How do I write meta data into a wave file? (Command line tools?)

Hello list,

libsndfile-info shows various useful information like the one at the end of this mail.
I have Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra waves here (violins 1) and a one note wave includes "Midi Note", "Loop Count" and "Cue Start : 92078  End : 223977", which is the actual loop start/end

Is this custom data or does it follow a standard?
And no matter what, how do I write that into my own wave files?

I would prefer command line tools. But programming interfaces are fine as well.

Greetings,
Nils
