[PD] error: resize failed

[William Brent]

I actually lose sleep over this.  IOhannes had a helpful response when
I brought it up a while ago, and you can follow the thread here:

Sounds like it won't be fixed anytime soon, so I just resize the table
to the right amount manually beforehand.  Is there an extern for
getting soundfile info (e.g., number of frames) without actually
loading audio?  That would make this issue pretty easy to manage.
