We should use C language only when we need it, in the example of [waveinfo] vs [soundfile_info], both aren't the good way for me, we just need the [binfile] external for reading the header, and all the other stuff can be done into a pd patch.
we don't need [binfile]!
how do you read the header without binfile?
Pd is proven to be turing complete, so it should be easy enough to write an operating system entirely in Pd (that is: a patch) that will allow you to read/write soundfiles in any desired format.
pd is not even able to read extended precision, that's why pd can't tell about aiff samplerate.
