cannam@85: By using the open SNDFILE with a file descriptor function: cannam@85:

cannam@85: cannam@85:

cannam@85:       SNDFILE*  sf_open_fd (int fd, int mode, SF_INFO *sfinfo, int close_desc) ;

cannam@85: it is possible to open sound files embedded within larger files. cannam@85: There are however a couple of caveats: cannam@85:

Reading of embedded files is only supported at file offsets greater cannam@85: than zero. cannam@85:
Not all file formats are supported (currently only WAV, AIFF and AU). cannam@85:
