Snap. I also determine sample rate through Audacity and rely on
memory or best guess for on the fly audio file handling. (Windows XP
could not wait to tell you channel or sample info and most of it
displayed simply by hovering over the file in question).
I believe there is something aquating to an explanation somewhere on
this guy's weblog (the Vista audio designer) which charts the passage
of audio development since the beginning.

ps. but it's all gobledygook to me - I just know the file info is
there but not displayed. let me know if you have any revelations
about this, I check back most days on a variety of issues
