The MODE 1.1 release uses Paul Lansky's merged IRCAM (BICSF) / NeXT sound file header. This means you have the 1024 byte header with maxamp and comment info, but the first 28 bytes are identical to the SPARC/NeXT style of header.
The file header (defined in ../utils/sfheader.h)

Class SoundFile manages this interface, and can easily be changed to read other sound file formats.
Porting the system to systems that do not store max_amp or comment info will, however, hinder MODE, as it uses this information in several applications. It's nice to have anyway.
