(this is a repost - last one got mixed up - apologies! :-) )

Hello all - I am new to PyMedia (but not Python) and it seems great, but 
I am having trouble doing something very basic - simply opening a FLAC 
file and get its length in seconds and metadata.

Here is my annotated test code, which I just cant get to work on a 
completely valid flac file (which PyMedia test apps can play no problem):

-----------------------------------------------
f  = open("test.flac", 'rb')
s = f.read()

dm = pymedia.muxer.Demuxer('flac')
frames = dm.parse(s)
frame  = frames[0]

dec= pymedia.audio.acodec.Decoder(dm.streams[0] )  (*1)
if dec != None:
    r= dec.decode( frame[1] )      (*2)
    pprint(dm.getHeaderInfo())     (*3)
    print r.sample_rate, r.channels

f.close()
-----------------------------------------------

The problems (see code annotations) are:

(*1) dm.streams[0] contents dont seem to be entirely sensible:
index=0
block_align=0
type=1
frame_rate_base=1
height=0
channels=0
length=-2077252342
sample_rate=0
frame_rate=25
bitrate=0
id=86031

(*2) r returns as None. frame[1] does seem to have sensible data in 
(it's the start of the flac file: "
fLaC\x00\x00\x00"\x12\x00\x12\x00\x00\x00\x0E\x00....")

(*3) getHeader info returns no values in the metadata dictionary, even 
though I know the FLAC file has them in (in Ogg style).

Hugely grateful of any help - this is doing my head in!!
