libsndfile v1.2.2 source files

Previous port(s) <=1.0.25 by Fredrik Wikstrom

Info:

Libsndfile is a C library for reading and writing files containing sampled
sound (such as MS Windows WAV and the Apple/SGI AIFF format) through one
standard library interface. It is released in source code format under the Gnu
Lesser General Public License.

The library was written to compile and run on a Linux system but should
compile and run on just about any Unix (including MacOS X). There are also
pre-compiled binaries available for 32 and 64 bit windows.

It was designed to handle both little-endian (such as WAV) and big-endian
(such as AIFF) data, and to compile and run correctly on little-endian (such
as Intel and DEC/Compaq Alpha) processor systems as well as big-endian
processor systems such as Motorola 68k, Power PC, MIPS and Sparc. Hopefully
the design of the library will also make it easy to extend for reading and
writing new sound file formats.

About the port:

For the newlib build, the file_io module inside the library uses 100% native
dos.library calls and should work with large files (>4GB). These patches
were written by Fredrik Wikstrom and taken from his v1.0.25 port, and amended
for v1.2.2.
