well i have a dumb answer: why not use the "length" output of [soundfiler]?

i think that in this case the philosophy of Pd his, that there are 2 
ways to change the length of a table: do it interactively (e.g. create a 
[table bla 1024] or do it programmatically (e.g. via [; bla resize 216()
in the first case the author of the software is responsible for using 
(e.g. "hardcoding") the right table-size throughout there patch, in the 
latter case you could just listen to these programmatical changes).
tables suddenly changing there size are beyond Pd :-)

anyhow, having said all that, there are several externals that will give 
you the size of a table.
for once there is pix's [arraysize].
and then you could use kludges like [tabdump]->[list length]....
