I can confirm this happens for me for both soundfiler and writesf~ (Mac 10.6.8 and PD 0.45-4). Even after applying a new AIFF header in soundhack, the files are just noise.
Honestly, I've only ever used WAV files with Pd before testing this just now!
PS - Eric, I bought your Max/Pd external book for reference - excellent work!

Hi All,
in Pd 0.45.4 vanilla I'm getting the following behavior from soundfiler, using the help file:
Hit 2nd message down to read full bell sound into array2 - works fine.
Hit 4th message down to write an AIFF file to /tmp - resulting sound
file is unreadable, apparently due to an invalid header.
- HIt 5th message down to write a WAVE file to /tmp - works fine.
