Hi PA -
Are you doing stuff that "soundfiler" doesn't? If so, it would be better
to add to the soundfiler object than to add a new object with its own name.
The one thing that [soundfiler] can not do, is to report the length of a
soundfile WITHOUT fully loading it into an array.
That would be a great feature to have for [soundfiler]'s right outlet,
especially in the case of big files.
You can get all the other information (channels, samplerate etc.) by
loading just a small sniplet of the source file (even 1 sample is
sufficient IIRC) into a buffer, but not the length. you would need to
add "-resize" to the load flags, which is not useful for (very) long files
i still use IEMLIB's [soundfile_info] for that purpose.
best
