#508 iemlib/[soundfile_info]: does not load certain wav files

No

an example file showing described behaviour can be downloaded here:
http://www.romanhaefeli.net/test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav

when loading such a file with [soundfile_info], it prints the following error:
soundfile_info_read-error: /home/roman/projekte/liestal/soundfiles/test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav has a format-chunk not equal to 16

this and other files generated with the nuendo software have this problem. the files though seem to be compliant wav-files. [readsf~] loads and plays them fine.
'mplayer -identify test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav' prints:
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 8 ch, s16le, 5644.8 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 705600->705600)

Only [soundfile_info] seems to have troubles with those files.

    I just tested the latest commit r13958 from yesterday on Mac OS X/Intel 10.5.8, and Roman's http://www.romanhaefeli.net/test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav file works fine now. But it still gives an error on the bell.aiff that comes with Pd:

    soundfile_info_read-error: /Users/hans/code/pure-data/trunk/pd/doc/sound/bell.aiff is no RIFF-WAVE-file
