Ecasound does, because ecasound uses libsndfile.

libsndfile also comes with a program called sndfile-convert which 
will also do the job. On Debian and Ubuntu, sndfile-convert is 
part of the sndfile-programs package.

I have found that good programmers either do not make the kind
of mistakes that Ada can prevent, or insert enough checks that
they catch those mistakes about as efficiently as an Ada
environment can. At that point, the use of Ada gives no further
productivity advantage.
