I looked at CVS and I made modifications to AIFF to read 12-bit audio
files in April 2001.  The way I did it should have worked with
unpacked 24-bit AIFF files.   Happen to know if they were packed
or unpacked files?

I think AIFF standard requires samples to be 8, 16, or 32 regardless
of bits used; if I remeber correctly.
