"Seekable" is not set correctly

[cnliao]

System: Archlinux
libsndfile version: 1.0.26 (I tested both the version in system repo and self-compiled version)
Issue description: Using sndfile-info to check whether a sound file is seekable, one finds that the "Seekable" field is always "False". The same field is "True" for the same file with libsndfile version 1.0.25

Here follows some sample output.

I'm pretty sure this was fixed in commits 776308d and f29c0dc . These will be in the next release.

These will be in the next release.

When we can expect the new release?

Unfortunately "seekable" breaks libmirage which causes that cdemu can't mount any Audio CD image which uses CUE and FLAC/WAVE file (it thinks that file is not seekable)...

This also causes an issue in Blender VSE.
