Issues with unicode characters in filenames on Windows 10 (Unix-like situation is currently unknown to me). #35
Description
https://github.com/JuliaAudio/LibSndFile.jl/blob/master/src/libsndfile_h.jl#L122
function sf_open(fname::String, mode, sfinfo)
filePtr = ccall((:sf_open, libsndfile), Ptr{Cvoid},
(Cstring, Int32, Ref{SF_INFO}),
fname, mode, sfinfo)
if filePtr == C_NULL
error("LibSndFile.jl error while opening $fname: ", sf_strerror(C_NULL))
end
filePtr
end
Fixed on Windows 10 by changing Cstring to Cwstring and sf_open to sf_wchar_open.
The sf_wchar_open change is definitely Windows-specific, but there's a chance that opening filenames with wide characters in them on Unix-like systems will also benefit from changing Cstring to Cwstring. I will experiment with this at some point in the near future on Linux.
If I find that Linux also requires Cwstring, I will open a pull req with that change (but not the Windows-specific sf_wchar_open).

I partially fixed the problem in Julia 1.6 using the following:
however some tests are randomly breaking with the message
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.. This seems to be a Windows string encoding problem. Possibly it'll be fixed in newer Julia versions.
