to my knowledge these problems should have vanished (by introduction of 
a trivial patch to readanysf~) in the meantime.

just one note: sfplay is only a two-day sketch of a player that is going 
to be embedded into xsample in the future. It is relying on libsndfile 
and is working really well for me... i haven't published it on the cvs 
because it's not really a project on its own. If there is any need for 
it i'll find a way to open-source it. Just let me know.

best greetings,
Thomas
