[H-GEN] needed: a function for reading wave files

Hi all, I have a uni project where I need to, amongst a few other things, 
read a wave file into a C program then process it and spit it back out to a 
different wave file.

Now being much of a NON pc programmer I am not too sure on how to do it. I 
am using GCC. I guess what i want is a lump of prewritten code that more or 
less is a function that I can feed the filename to and then extract all the 
relevant data from and poke this into an array or vector, probably a 
vector. Processing it is ok then I need to spit it back to a wave. I hope 
this makes sense. I have looked on the net and have found stuff, BUT my 
level of C coding is rather limited when it comes to pc's (I write C code 
for embedded systems and microcontrollers)

Example of what I think I want

double wavread(filename)

void wavwrite(filename, data)

or much like MATLAB (I have written and simulated all these in matlab and 
it is working)


I have just been going through the source for SOX (/usr/bin/sox) and it may 
be of help if I can understand it. That can be a task for later today.
