How about replacing the current WAV read/write objects with a wrapper
around the libsndfile routines. This will allow you to read and write
much more than just WAV files, the code works with either endian-ness
and works on 64 bit systems.

libsndfile is already used for file I/O in SuperCollider and I believe
John ffitch (spelling?) is also working on using in Csound.
