I'm looking for a command line tool that can determine the length (duration in seconds) of a sound file using more than just the file header. The situation is that some of the files have incorrect headers. The data is intact, and they play correctly, but if you attempt to determine the length based solely on the header, it will be incorrect. I've tried soxi, mediainfo, and ffprobe (on xubuntu 16.04), and all seem to rely exclusively on the header. soxi is good enough that it warns if there's a discrepancy between what the header says and what is present in the file, in a message to stderr, but the value to stdout (from soxi -D) is the incorrect header value. I suppose i could write code to parse soxi's error message, but would much prefer to have some option to pass to the program that says "use file length instead of header info in the event of a conflict". TIA for any suggestions! dan _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
