I'll do that.

That would be useful for someone who wanted to answer the question "what 
sound file formats can I use with libsndfile", but I don't think that's a 
really interesting question: normally you shouldn't care. The question I was 
trying to answer was "I have a weird file that won't load; might I be able 
to try it with libsndfile?".

As to what extra features libsndfile provides, even making that list would 
take a long time, and since I'm moving towards integrating the two sets of 
I/O code (I have .wve reading working in libsndfile, based on code Erik had 
already written, so not much progress yet!) I think it would be a waste of 
time.
