Well, not quite ...
Lucas' method of using [soundfiler] to get a (really long) soundfile's length still loads the complete file into RAM, as it would into an array. (i'm talking a 60 minute long audio file here)
This has 3 drawbacks:
1.) audio dropout while loading, depending on the file's length 2.) can use huge amounts of RAM 3.) takes much longer than [soundfile_info]
attached is an example patch that illustrates both approaches.
(use the same long soundfile for each method to see what i mean)
then again: since i use IEMLIB regularly it's not that much of a hassle. it's just not plain vanilla, that's all ...
best
