duration(s)
duration(s) <- value
setDuration(s,value)

`s`	a Sample object, or a string giving the name of a wav file.
`value`	a double giving the duration in seconds.

The replacement form can be used to reset the duration of the Sample object (here, filenames are not accepted).

If a Sample object is shortened, extra values are discarded. When a Sample object is lengthened, it is padded out to its new length with zeros (silence).

For duration, the duration of the sample in seconds.

For setDuration, a Sample object with the new duration.
