Good.
I think is better to use the data-chunk header, cuz broken sound files are far less common than files with metadata.
And broken sound files can be fixed, (copy audio and paste to a new file).

I seems that [soundfiler] correctly ignores metadata. [soundfile_info] counts it as length. At least for .wav files.
[soundfile_info] assumes that everything after the (1st) "data" chunk is audio data. this is obviously not true if you have other chunks (cue, ...) coming after the audio. i talked to thomas, and it seems that the behaviour was actually intentional, meant to correctly handle truncated soundfile files (that would be shorted than indicated in the data-chunk header) as a side-effect, it would erroneously handle soundfiles that are longer than indicated in the data-chunk header.
i fixed this in iemlib's git repository[1]. i'll try to talk thomas into doing a proper release via deken.
