There are two separate issues here:

1. it would be lovely to have a single [soundfile_info] that gets the
meta data from any soundfile, like how [readanysf~] will play any soundfile

2. People should be free to write whatever software they want.  If
existing objects don't work for them, they write new ones.  Therefore we
have [wavinfo] and [soundfile_info].

So really, I think the best solution would be to leave both  [wavinfo]
and [soundfile_info] as they are, and focus efforts on making a
[anysfinfo] based on gmerlin using [readanysf~] as a template.
