[PD] array size + stereo?

[sme]

hi,
there is  a -resize feature which can be sent to soundfiler (like
read -resize blabla.wav array1). it automatically sets the size of the array
to the length of the soundfile.
and i´d like to add another question...

is there a way of reading whether a file is mono or (2-channel-)stereo?

marius.
