I mean some minimal C++ class set like: WavFile, WavHeader, WavFrame with
few apparent methods (open/close, read/write frame(s)).
Suggestions?

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:
http://cubic.org/~doj/ebay/wav.tar.gz
If you have to handle large files you should go the libsndfile way.

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.

Dirk,
I'm afraid I have an appetite to work with long files also.

Maybe I should start pimping Ocaml here except that I would

Well, it is very thin though. Which is not a bad thing at all. One could
make ue of an arbitrary amount of more advanced C++ features if desired
though (i.e. templates parametrized with the type you want to read for

Ok, "don't mix dialects" is a good tip. Most of the proposed methods
for the Sndfile class have single word names so Java style might be
the best option.

Most people who really know C++ know enough to be comfortable

I noticed that the constructor SndFile::SndFile (const char *path,
int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo)
isn't declared in the class. Also, since this constructor can fail
if sf_open() fails up, it should throw an exception. Maybe
containing the results of sf_strerror().
Something like
SndFile::SndFile (const char *path, int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo)
{
psf = sf_open (path, mode, sfinfo) ;
if (!psf) {
throw sf_error(psf);
}

Hi, Erik!
I'd suggest making all wrapper functions inline,
as they are one-liners by definition and
anyway wrapper includes libsndfile headers.

Yes, that was my idea. So if the sndfile.hh has:
class Sndile
{
int method (/* params */) ;
}
int method (/* params */)
{
/* whatever */
}
do I need to add an inline keyword anywhere and if so where?

You need either
class Sndfile

int method (/* params */) ;
}; // note the ;
inline int Sndfile::method (/* params */)
{

}
or
class Sndfile

I use the second form often if the function body is trivial
e.g. just one statement, as for a getter / setter.

SndFile::strerror() should maybe take an int arg (the value returned

I prefer the unix-y open_read(). I don't
think method names should
ever start with a capital, unless it's the ctor or dtor.
I'm actually tending towards openRead().
I noticed that
the constructor SndFile::SndFile (const char *path,
int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo)
isn't declared in the class. Also, since this constructor can fail
if sf_open() fails up, it should throw an exception. Maybe
containing the results of sf_strerror().
Something like
SndFile::SndFile (const char *path, int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo)
{
psf = sf_open (path, mode, sfinfo) ;
if (!psf) {
throw sf_error(psf);
}
}
Good tip, thanks.

The open/close methods are provided so a single Sndfile object
can be opened and closed multiple times. I was also going to
make the copy constructor and asignment operator private so
they can't be misused.

Thats was the idea from the start. I light-weight wrapper.
SndFile::strerror() should maybe take an int arg (the
value returned
by SndFile::error()) and be declared as a static method?
Good catch. Thanks.
