THIS EXTENSION IS DEPRECATED, USE MY NEW ONE: [EXTENSION] Sound Info Library 0.9 beta

Description:

This extension provides functions for reading useful infos out of mp3 and wav files (sound length, bitrate, sampling rate, mp3 ID3 tag...), I decided to do this because the hl2 internal GetSoundDuration function doesn't work properly.
It can be used in plugins like saysounds, and other sound player plugins.

Atm this is for windows only, but I I'm going to add linux support later.

Nice, I was kinda screwed by the deprecation of GetSoundDuration, this fixes that

Will a linux version be available?

I'm pretty sure this extension is deprecated in favor of the Sound Info Library extension by the same author, which does have a Linux build.
