Read the audio file @var{filename} and return the audio data @var{y} and
sampling rate @var{fs}.
 
The audio data is stored as matrix with rows corresponding to audio frames
and columns corresponding to channels.
 
The optional two-element vector argument @var{samples} specifies starting
and ending frames.
 
The optional argument @var{datatype} specifies the datatype to return.
If it is @qcode{"native"}, then the type of data depends on how the data
is stored in the audio file.
