Okay, it's probably just a syntactical problem with the .pc file then. 
The important bits should look something like:

  Name: sndfile
  Description: A library for reading and writing audio files
  Requires:
  Version: [some version or other >= 1.0.18]
  Libs: -L${libdir} -llibsndfile-1
  Cflags: -I${includedir}

Running "pkg-config --libs sndfile" should return the "Libs" line (with 
any variables expanded), and it apparently doesn't.  pkg-config is, 
however, returning *some* information about libsndfile or cmake wouldn't 
find it at all. Make sure there are no spaces between options and 
arguments (e.g. "-llibsndfile-1", not "-l libsndfile-1") and that you 
haven't accidentally deleted the colon after "Libs".

Get that working, rerun cmake, and you should get a link command which, if 
it doesn't work, at least fails in a different way.
