I looked over your changes.  I don't think depending on the LIBSNDFILE  
version is probably the right way to do it, since you can still build  
LIBSNDFILE without vorbis support (it depends on the external  
libraries).  Its too bad libsndfile didn't provide short names for  
audio formats (like prefixes for file types).  Then we could have it  
completely dynamic, since libsndfile could provide whatever list it  
supports.

I think it might be best to just query libsndfile for the first  
supported audio format, for a given file type, if no audio format is  
specified and the default of 16 bit PCM fails.  That would solve the  
Ogg/Vorbis issue and possibly work fine with future supported file  
types which have a specific audio format.

What do you think?
