Thanks for the very positive feedback :-).

That doesn't mean it always has to be that way. I think there definitely
is a cross over.

What exactly do you mean by this? libsndfile allows you to open a 16 bit
PCM WAV file and read the data as short, int, float or double depending
on whether you call
sf_read_short()
sf_read_int()
sf_read_float() or
sf_read_double()
If you open a file for writing and specify that the destination file be
16 bit PCM data you can use any of the sf_write_XXXX functions.
Scaling and endian conversion etc takes place automatically on the fly.
This has been a feature of libsndfile since the very first released version.

This is indeed a noble goal.

One has to wonder why, with their huge resources, they haven't.
