It was deliberate, more or less for the very reasons you are seeing.  SHN
is a broken format.  The only known way to get duration, size and bitrate
data (required for SB to play tracks) is to extract to WAV and redirect to
/dev/null (a problem on windows), then it's extracted to WAV again for
playback.  The header is also different depending on versions.  Some of
the things that never worked right (and consequently had no official
support) were removed for SC7 (note several skins which are no longer with
us).  This was one of them.
