Thanks for catching this. I'll try to work up a fix in the next few days.

Looking into this now - you are correct that this PR seems to have caused the change in behavior. What's not yet clear to me yet is whether the new behavior is a bug on our side or on soundfile's side - it looks to me like soundfile's new behavior may not be in line with their API spec, but I'll confer with the devs.

[bmcfee]

Have confirmed upstream that this is a regression in soundfile to be fixed, and not a bug on our side.
