Sure, why not?

Moreover, I know I have a bunch of .caf files here from an Apple loops
library, which leads me to yet another request. These loop files have
information for a loop sustain region. Say you have a 3 seconds long sample
and a looping region in between 1 and 2 seconds. Then you can have the file
playing indefinitely until you release it. Of course this is also available
for .aiff files. So yeah, this is more of yet another feature request, but
I figure, if we're interested in updating [soundfiler] for this too, why
not add yet more features?

I was once thinking about writing an external to extract loop regions as
well, but you know my skills are poor, I don't know if I'll ever get there.
This was in my wish list since I started working on cyclone, cause Max has
this [info~] object that gets such loop information from .aiff files, for
reference: https://docs.cycling74.com/max7/maxobject/info~

I already have an external in the ELSE library that uses loop regions to
play sound files: [else/susloop~], but I still don't know of any way to get
that information in Pd (I mean with externals, of course).

Anyway, I'm just gonna open a feature request for this on github.

cheers
