This commit adds support for data of Creative Tech. voice format. In this
data format, values in each of field are represented in little-endian byte
order and available formats of data sample are restricted in little-endian
byte order.
In version 1.10 of this format, sampling rate is represented with
reciprocal number of the rate, thus we cannot calculate original sampling
rate precisely just from its header. For example at 44.1kHz, file header
includes 233 (=256-1,000,000/44,100), but we cannot recover the value just
from the code (43478.2...). For my convenience, this commit adds a
pre-computed table and lookup major rates from the table.
Additionally, this format can includes several blocks with different
sample format. When handling this type of file, we need to start/stop
substream for each of the block, while this brings complicated code.
This type of format is enough ancient and presently quite minor. This
commit takes a compromise and handles a first sample block only.

This commit adds support for data of Sparc AU format. In this data format,
values in each of field are encoded in big-endian byte order and available
formats of data sample are restricted in big-endian byte order.

This commit adds support for data of Microsoft/IBM RIFF/Wave format. In
this data format, values in each of field are encoded in both bit/little
byte order but inner a file the same order is used. Magic bytes in the
beginning of data indicated which byte order is used for the file.

Current aplay supports several types of data format for file; Microsoft/IBM
RIFF/Wave (.wav), Sparc AU (.au) and Creative Tech. voice (.voc). These
formats were designed to handle audio-related data with interleaved frame
alignment.
This commit adds a common interface to handle the file format, named as
'container' module. This includes several functions to build/parse
the format data from any file descriptors. Furthermore, this includes
several helper functions for implementations of each builder/parser.
