[PD] readsf problem

[jim ruxton]

Thanks IOhannes,
I tried playing with endianess on a couple of files I downloaded but 
didn't have any luck. Is there a program that I can run a wav file 
through to get all it's info ie. sample size, endianess etc. I find it 
frustrating just trying different settings to get readsf~ to play a file 
I download. Does anyone know where I can find documentation that 
discusses readsf~ more comprehensively than the help file. Thanks.
Jim
