How to find play length of .ogg file using python?
I am writing a program using pygame to play musical sound cues. I need
a way to determine the play length of a sound file. I can get the
length of .mp3 files with python-pymad. I have also installed
python-pyogg and python-pyvorbis. It seems that I should be able to get
the length of .ogg files with one of these packages, but the
documentation and examples do not show how.
I have googled for these packages and basically have found that
documentation does not seem to exist, yet. It was suggesated to check
the docs for libvorbis, but I haven't been able to find this, either.
The output of VorbisFile.info() seems to be an object with various
attributes, probably including the play length, but the only attributes
shown in the example are channels and rate. The module is a .so file,
so I can not look at python source to determine the other attributes and
I would rather not have to download C source code and plow through
that. Is there a list of the attributes for this object, somewhere?
Can anyone give me an easy way to find the play length of an .ogg file,
or point me to where the documentation exists.
TIA
