Why not use the libsndfile library? That's what Aleph One uses for 
AIFF/WAV replacement sounds. The library is only a few 100K and the code 
required to import/export files is fairly minimal.

Plus I've already built a universal binary framework of it, which you can 
just drop into Xcode.

That sounds good, but I suspect most users will not use ShapeFusion to 
edit the color table, except possibly for the self-luminescent flag, 
they'll probably just import one from Photoshop.
