[PD] [sfinfo~]

[William Brent]

If you're after the number of channels and sampling rate, the list coming
out of the right outlet of [soundfiler] gives you that. And the left outlet
gives you the number of frames/samples, but beware that it actually reports
the number of samples loaded to the target array. So if you don't use the
-resize flag it won't necessarily report the number of samples in the file.
