There's a libsndfile pre-release here:

    http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/libsndfile-1.0.18pre15.tar.gz

that builds sfread.oct and sfwrite.oct.

They have been tested and are know to work with GNU Octave 2.9 on
i486-pc-linux-gnu and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. I probably won't work
with earlier versions of octave. It may work with GNU Octave on 
other platforms.

I'm not sure what the best thing to do with these is; whether I
should continue with them being distributed with libsndfile or
whether they should be moved into octave-forge,

Cheers,
Erik
