The documentation for the sndhdr module does not have supported file formats. Something like below could help:

+------------+------------------------------------+
| Value | Sound header format |
+============+====================================+
| 'aifc' | Compressed Audio Interchange Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'aiff' | Audio Interchange Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'au' | AU Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'hcom' | HCOM Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'sndr' | SNDR Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'sndt' | SNDT Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'voc' | VOC Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'wav' | WAV Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| '8svx' | 8SVX Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'sb' | SB Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'ub' | UB Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
| 'ul' | uLAW Audio Files |
+------------+------------------------------------+
