duration value seems not accurate

[zfan40]

Bug description

When I use explore waveSurfer and ToneJS, I find the duration not compatible.

I am not sure which result is correct, so I dive a little bit and below are three results on the same audio file
A4.mp3.zip

1. ws.getDuration() in events example page
   Decode 13.374694s
   Ready 13.374694s

2. using python

from pydub import AudioSegment

# Load the audio file
audio_path = "/mnt/data/A4.mp3"
audio = AudioSegment.from_mp3(audio_path)

# Get the duration of the audio file in seconds
duration_seconds = len(audio) / 1000  # Duration in milliseconds to seconds
duration_seconds

13.323s

3 using ToneJS
result is 13.32297052154195

It looks like wavesurfer.duration is a bit away from the rest two (but I cannot dictate which is absolutely correct. may need another solid proof)

Environment

• Browser: Chrome

Minimal code snippet

The existing example events.js, just replace the audio file would be fine.

Expected result

13.323 ish

Obtained result

13.3746

You can pass your own duration (e.g. from tonejs) in the options.

thanks, this is actually a solid solution after careful thoughts. it's not wise to keep different source of truth

This does not work. When I set the duration manually in the options, it still gets the duration wrong. In my case, I manually set the duration in the options as 6.84 but ws.getDuration() incorrectly logged 6.81795.

This seems to be a bug to me, created an issue here: #3707
