Basically, instead of reading from a file, libsndfile can be passed a set of

functions to read data from an arbitrary source.
So for example, if you write a set of functions which will read a sound file

from a memory block or a network location, you can pass them to libsndfile,

and it will use them to load the data from memory or over the network, even

if it doesn't actually exist as a file.
This is the "virtual IO functionality".  He has simply released a

description of this API so that it is easy to understand and use. You can

view it on the website here: http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/api.html
