<![CDATA[How to see the size of an audio file?]]>is it possible to read the size of an audio file without soundfiler? i'm using readsf~ to play wav-files and it would nice to see how long the file is...

of course i can read the file also to soundfiler, and get this info, but that means i have to read it to an array (a BIG one, in this case) and that freezes everything for a split second, as we know..

and osx 10.4 + pd-ext 0.41.4 here.
