This is clearly the best solution. However, no abstraction library exists
today that can read and write all common uncompressed formats, vorbis,
mp3, and FLAC.  Instead I'm stuck writing and maintaining separate code
for libsndfile, libvorbis, libmad, lame, and libFLAC.

I also don't foresee all of the windows audio jukebox programs that my
friends use linking with this universal audio format library anytime
soon. :-(
