@Oliver
The only problem I know with [soundfile_info] is that it counts as
samples any metadata in the file. Is not common to find metadata in wav
files but there might be some.
It would be really nice if [soundfiler] just extracts n of samples only
by reading the header.
@Dan:
Oliver's patch shows that [soundfiler] does not just "read the header".

Don't pass an array name when calling open and it reports the info
without reading any samples, ie. just reads the header info then
closes the file.

Hi PA -
Are you doing stuff that "soundfiler" doesn't? If so, it would be
better
to add to the soundfiler object than to add a new object with its
own name.
The one thing that [soundfiler] can not do, is to report the length of a
soundfile WITHOUT fully loading it into an array.
That would be a great feature to have for [soundfiler]'s right outlet,
especially in the case of big files.
You can get all the other information (channels, samplerate etc.) by
loading just a small sniplet of the source file (even 1 sample is
sufficient IIRC) into a buffer, but not the length. you would need to
add "-resize" to the load flags, which is not useful for (very) long
files
i still use IEMLIB's [soundfile_info] for that purpose.
best
