a command like GetSoundDuration(#Sound) that returns to duration of a sound in ms would be nice.

BTW: Does anyone have a good workaround for that? For wav you can do somthing like this:

; *Pointer is a Pointer to the wav file in memory
; FileSize if the Size of the wav file in memory

Size.l = FileSize - 44
Channels.l = PeekW(*Pointer+22)
SampleRate.l = PeekL(*Pointer+24)
ByteRate.l = PeekL(*Pointer+28)

Valuef1.f = Size
Valuef2.f = ByteRate
TrackLenght.f = Valuef1/Valuef2 * 1000
TrackLenght.l = Int(TrackLenght)

but it's not very clean and it does noch work for OGG or FLAG

can help you

Anyway, it would be good if these functions could be added to the native library
