Yes! Thanks, that worked a charm.


Next stumbling block found:
when opening a file,  sf_open(...)  is called. To close the file,
sf_close(file)  must be called.

[CCode (cheader_filename="sndfile.h",cname ="SNDFILE")]
class Sndfile
{
    [CCode (cname="sf_open", free_function="sf_close")]
    public Sndfile(string path, FileMode mode, out Info sf_info );
}

Doesnt seem to work...? The C output is totally off, ie:

// at top of file:
#define _sndfile_unref0(var) ((var == NULL) ? NULL : (var = (sndfile_unref
(var), NULL)))

// where file.close() is called:
_sndfile_unref0 (file);

I think it must be something in the .vapi, because that C looks totally
unrelated to:
sf_close(file);

;-)  Getting steadily closer... I can print values of the sample loaded from
HD already... sound will be coming soon!
