By default support for large files +is turned off. This option is unnecessary on systems where off_t is +always 64 bits (e.g. IRIX, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X). + +The Audio File Library supports CCITT G.711 mu-law and A-law as well +as IMA and MS ADPCM. Many compressed data formats are not supported. +This is currently the most important issue to address. + +Error handling is at the present quite robust, but more work can always +be done in this area. + +SGI's Audio File Library on IRIX implements the following formats which +this version of the library does not: + + MPEG1 audio bitstream + Sound Designer II + SampleVision + VOC + SoundFont2 + +I plan to implement some of these as time permits.
