Well I did offer :-).

Well wavread/wavwite might use the libsndfile stuff if that was available
when octave was compiled and if it wasn't available, those functions
could fall back onto the existing code.

However, wavread/write don't currently have any way of specifying how
to write file formats other than WAV. I'm not sure if that can be
grafted onto the existing wavread/wavwrite.
