Sorry, but this kind of behaviour is way too microsoftian for
me. File extensions lie! :-) Besides, yatm should ideally be
able to stream data at some point in the future, and streams
can be named anything sometimes.
Yes, a
mega-libsndfile would be very cute.

I currently
just blindly try to launch the decoder for either ogg, speex or
mp3 in series. I'd like to add flac...
a simple way - how about assuming files are properly named, eg theres no
files matching *.ogg which are actually .wav format? although in the major web browsers a .gif saved with
.jpg extension
always loads without error..maybe good to check how xmms or similar
handles this situation..
Yes, I'll look into other audio players sources...
wondering, is
there a reliable way to detect a audio streams file
format just given some bits of the header? So that I could set the
InfoAudio ( ftp://ftp.tsp.ece.mcgill.ca//pub/AFsp/AFsp-v8r1.tar.gz ) is quite useful
mainly for all the differing .wav bitrates/formats/endiannesses but maybe libsndfile
already takes care of that.. for a mp3 it just says "AFfindType - Unsupported audio
file type: MPEG-1 Layer III". and it doesnt even provide that much info for ogg or
FLAC.. i still like it though
it would be great if there was truly one solution to this, on Mac you just use coreaudio
API, on windows, you use ACM codec, but it seems each linux app has to independently
support and depend on flac/ogg/speex/wav/etc libs, ad nauseum..
