Sorry, there was a typo in the web page source that I have just corrected.  
You should really try to install and configure apt on your system.  
Downloading rpms by hand and installing them is a pain compared to using
apt-get, apt will take care of all dependency stuff. While the web page
links were wrong apt-get install libsndfile would have gotten the right
version for you.
