There are no checks in the utilities to exclude file types. The problem
has a different reason: SD2 files can only be opened by sf_open() (which
takes a file name) and not sf_open_fd() (takes an integer file
descriptor), exactly because of the strange two-file storage method.
sndinfo uses sf_open(), however, the other utilities (and in general
most code that opens a sound file) call csoundFileOpen() which opens
sound files by passing an integer file descriptor to sf_open_fd() and
thus fails on SD2 files.
