I would like to propose a convenience function, which will create an empty sndfile for writing, with the filename specified explicitely, and all other properties copied from another file.
An example use would look like this:
input = audiolab.sndfile(input_filename, 'read')
data = a.read_frames(1e4)
audiolab.wavwrite(data, output_filename, like=input_filename)
or like this:
input = audiolab.sndfile(input_filename, 'read')
data = a.read_frames(1e4)
output = audiolab.sndfile(output_filename, 'write', like=input)
output.write_frames(data)
The idea of this is a bit like the ones_like(matrix) function in scipy, and would simplify the process of writing files.
I'm using your library in my own project, so I will probably implement this functionality in a wrapper module in my program.
