How big are your files in general? Do they exceed 4G? I tried this 
format and different sizes both small and above 4G and only the smaller 
files worked. 
I never use the SoundFile class so I can't tell really, but I am sure 
this is also a problem with scsynth as the files won't load even when 
use osc messaging style.
