The Windows libsndfile distribution doesn't provide an import library for 
MinGW, only for MSVC, and the files are named:

        bin/libsndfile-1.dll
                
        lib/libsndfile-1.def
        lib/libsndfile-1.lib

MinGW works fine without an import library, using directly the DLL. The 
problem is the "sndfile.pc", that needs a change in the "Libs:" line, from 
"-lsndfile" to "-llibsndfile-1".
