hi

I would like to be able to distinguish between mono and stereo files at
loading time. I am loading the sound with soundfiler using this messages
which works both for stereo and mono files

read -resize path_to_file table1 table2

any suggestions? maybe there is some way to check if the second table is
full with zeros?


You could first read the file into [iemlib/soundfile_info] and take the fifth item in the output list, which is the number of channels.


aha, thanks thats what I was looking for. I must have thought about the externals of course!
