after 5 years of doing its own audio file handling, ardour finally
switched to using libsndfile for everything.
you may think you know your applications limitations and don't need
libsndfile, but i claim that you're wrong. sooner or later, you will be
asked for, or will realize the need for, a change that will be much
easier if you just accept that the full range of functionality offered
by libsndfile is the place to start.

Libsndsfile is
plain C, but will do what you want without any fuss.
You could write a WAV specific C++ wrapper on top of this in a few minutes.
libsndfile is superb, but sometimes you don't want to link against
external libraries in your code. I have some structs/classes which I use
if in-memory-handling of wav files is sufficient. You can have a look at
them at:

If you have to handle large files you should go the libsndfile way.
