Additionally, the "magic" command and its detection abilities are
separated nowadays - at least on my Debian system with "file" version 4.03
you also get the packages "libmagic1" and "libmagic-dev" which allow
to
use "file" functionality in any C/C++ program. Try "man 3 libmagic".

Additionally,
libsndfile support wouldnt be that bad either, so, I am
wondering, is there a reliable way to detect a audio streams file
format just given some bits of the header?
The "file" command can specify a lot of file formats just from some
magic bits, see /etc/magic, /usr/share/misc/file/magic and magic(5)
for this.
