Summary: iemlib/[soundfile_info]: does not load certain wav files

Initial Comment:
an example file showing described behaviour can be downloaded here:
http://www.romanhaefeli.net/test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav

when loading such a file with [soundfile_info], it prints the following error:
soundfile_info_read-error:  /home/roman/projekte/liestal/soundfiles/test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav has a format-chunk not equal to 16

this and other files generated with the nuendo software have this problem. the files though seem to be compliant wav-files. [readsf~] loads and plays them fine.
'mplayer -identify  test8kanal_interleaved_www.wav' prints:
Opening audio decoder: [pcm] Uncompressed PCM audio decoder
AUDIO: 44100 Hz, 8 ch, s16le, 5644.8 kbit/100.00% (ratio: 705600->705600)

Only [soundfile_info] seems to have troubles with those files.
