function [y,fs,wmode,fidx]=readwav(filename,mode,nmax,nskip)
%READWAV  Read a .WAV format sound file [Y,FS,WMODE,FIDX]=(FILENAME,MODE,NMAX,NSKIP)
%
% Input Parameters:
%
%	FILENAME gives the name of the file (with optional .WAV extension) or alternatively
%                 can be the FIDX output from a previous call to READWAV
%	MODE		specifies the following (*=default):
%
%    Scaling: 's'    Auto scale to make data peak = +-1
%             'r'    Raw unscaled data (integer values)
%             'q'    Scaled to make 0dBm0 be unity mean square
%             'p' *	Scaled to make +-1 equal full scale
%     Offset: 'y' *	Correct for offset in <=8 bit PCM data
%             'z'    No offset correction
%   File I/O: 'f'    Do not close file on exit
%
%	NMAX     maximum number of samples to read (or -1 for unlimited [default])
%	NSKIP    number of samples to skip from start of file
%               (or -1 to continue from previous read when FIDX is given instead of FILENAME [default])
%
% Output Parameters:
%
%	Y        data matrix of dimension (samples,channels)
%	FS       sample frequency in Hz
%	WMODE    mode string needed for WRITEWAV to recreate the data file
%	FIDX     Information row vector containing the element listed below.
%
%           (1)  file id
%				(2)  current position in file
%           (3)  dataoff	byte offset in file to start of data
%           (4)  nsamp	number of samples
%           (5)  nchan	number of channels
%           (6)  nbyte	bytes per data value
%           (7)  bits	number of bits of precision
%           (8)  code	Data format: 1=PCM, 2=ADPCM, 6=A-law, 7=Mu-law
%           (9)  fs	sample frequency
%
%   If no output parameters are specified, header information will be printed.
%
%   For stereo data, y(:,1) is the left channel and y(:,2) the right
%
%   See also WRITEWAV.
