yes,  still find it useful, specially for input from openpanel, but I see
might be pushing here...

I don't see it as "negotiable", it's quite important. Yes they can be
played at any other sample rate, but that changes de reading speed/pitch,
and what if you wanna have control over that? Say you opened a file
recorded at 96Khz and you wanna play it at the sample rate that Pd is
running which is 44.1Khz. For now, you basically need to know this
information before hand.

That's the usefulness I saw in it, and would also help in improving my
buffer~ abstraction.

Thoughts?

I, for one, would like to negotiate the inclusion of as many information as
possible, as you may notice, but I know not everyone feels like that and
this is quite unlikely. I could be reasonably satisfied with channels and
SR info, I'll surely have a smile on my face when that happens...

and since we are talking about externals doing that job, cyclone could have
an [info~] object that spits out a LOT of information about a sample... the
problem is that it's tied to [buffer~]
