This is something that I could potential do at work and tackling that list could probably be part of it. I was thinking of making a generic interface so that file types could be split into separate .c files like the audio & midi backends. This would make adding a new format much easier and improve maintenance as well.
This is something that probably would happen more in late summer-fall time, although I could imagine doing smaller aspects of it beforehand for 0.50. I could justify using this time for the overall project, to some degree. :)

I'm of two minds about this - I think it would be excellent to start offering 64-bit file lengths, but I wonder if this is going to be a widely-used format or not (personally I've never heard of it :)
Also - I have three dolist items for soundfiler/read/writesf~ :
fix thread-unsafe way readsf~ searches along the file path (need to make a local copy of the path so that the sub-thread isn't asking the canvas to do the search via open_via_path)
allow reading and writing ASCII text files (way way overdue!)
fix writesf~ to make running updates to the chunk size as the file grows, so that if the file never gets 'closed' it still gets a reasonable size
None of this is the least bit fun or interesting I'm afraid...

Sure, I see. I hope then you can get it working in a way that doesn't raise any concern to Miller. I'll stress again that it can be useful at least for the loop and sound effects library from *Soundtrack Pro* and *Logic Studio* .
it may not be too difficult to dump the extra info but that???s a separate issue.
yeah, I had opened this one <https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/586 https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/586>
