Attached is a more comprehensive patch containing a workaround for files made by an old version of libsndfile.

I've tried this patch, but it breaks stats and specrogram on "regular" (ie RIFF) wave files

Base On your first patch (rf64_reading.patch) I've spotted what made a regression on regular wav spetrogram
There is the new patch! Is there a chance we'll get that mainstream?

Thanks for your attention MarcosBDM and Eric. I've fixed the bug a little more cleanly in the attached patch.

I have also split out the libsndfile workaround into a separate patch. This allows RF64 files generated by the version of libsndfile distributed with Ubuntu 10.04 to be read successfully.
