what OS are you running? in linux, you can use sndfile-info to get most 
of what you need. or you could open them in rezound or snd and have 
alook, maybe even export them as something else.

also, did you try to explicitely set *all* flags for the soundfile with 
messages? alternately, did you try opening it as a raw file?

if you check the archives here for "writesf~", you'll find another 
thread about headers and messages that might give you some inspiration.
