[PD] soundfiler features

[Matt Barber]

Yep. Actually, I would like [soundfiler] to give the option of outputting
this info without actually loading the file into arrays (sometimes you need
this info before you stream a random file from disk). Could be an option in
readsf~, too, but if soundfiler already does it....
