[PD] readanysf~ control output of seconds played

[Gerda Strobl]

Dear list,

I play a file using sound [readanysf~] which has the function of showing 
me the approximate time in seconds--unfortunately the numbers at the 
output are not always the same(but using always the same soundfile).

I need to send a 1-message 3 seconds before the file stops--so I compare 
the actual time with the overall time of the (soundfile -3)---the 
problem is now that sometimes the [==] message never sends a 1 because 
the left input sometimes reaches now value that equals (filelength-3).

print: 14.7215
print: 16.1844
print: 17.6472

soundfilelength=18.49
int(soundfilelength-3)=15

when the output of the seconds of readanysf~ is like above--it doesn't 
equal 15

How can I quickly solve that?


Attached is a patch+*.wav  illustrating the problem.

Thank you.
Gerda
