Yes, with some others like PAF, VOC, SVX or SF.

Problems I do not know, but missing features yes. libsndfile supports 
PCM (U8, S8, S16, S24, S32, float 32, float 64), A-Law, U-Law, ADPCM 
(G721, IMA, Microsoft), DWVW (12, 16, 24) and DPCM (8, 16) in all the 
formats that allow it. It supports meta-data and is of course better 
tested, and requires no maintenance.
