We should assume that an Arch user would mention it, when using a
version that is older than ten years.

Arch Linux is a rolling release that follows upstream. This means it
provides latest stable releases from upstream, without patches for most
packages. The maintainers are selected, experienced people, but sure,
they could make mistakes, too.

https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/i686/libsndfile/

By official Arch repositories, testing excluded + unofficial archaudio
included + AUR included, this are the libsndfile related packages
available:

[rocketmouse at archlinux ~]$ yaourt -Ss libsndfile
extra/libsndfile 1.0.27-1 [installed]
    A C library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound
multilib/lib32-libsndfile 1.0.27-1
    A C library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound (32-bit)
aur/mingw-w64-libsndfile 1.0.27-1 (6) (0.05)
    A C library for reading and writing files containing sampled sound (mingw-w64)
aur/python-wavefile 1.5-1 (1) (0.01)
    Pythonic libsndfile wrapper to read and write audio files.
aur/python2-wavefile 1.5-1 (1) (0.01)
    Pythonic libsndfile wrapper to read and write audio files. For Python2.
aur/sndfile-tools 1.03-1 (0) (0.00)
    a small collection of programs that use libsndfile and other libraries to do useful things



For what ever it's worth, there's no libsndfile available by the
testing repository.

This is how libsndfile is build:
