Hey, I've just added a file.duration primitive to liquidsoap :-)
It computes an audio file duration.
Some limitations:
* Computation can be expensive, it is better if you can use it
asynchronously, i.e. in a add_timeout
* As mp3 is a dirty format, computation might be wrong in this case, or
return non-nul on a jpeg file for instance. This happen rarely, but try to
avoid non-audio files if you need to rely strongly on this value.
A recent API can be found there:

You might also like to play with the new request.* API, which allows to
control request resolution inside your scripts.
