Bug#524739: libaudio-file-perl: Either man page is wrong about audio_properties methods, or there's a bug

[Reuben Thomas]

Package: libaudio-file-perl
Version: 0.11-1.1
Severity: normal

The man page in the second paragraph of the synopsis mentions methods like this:

  print "The ". $file->type() ."-file ". $file->name
                       ." is ". int $file->length() ." seconds long.\n";

but they don't work for me, at least when the file is an MP3 file.
However, they are accessible via the audio_properties sub-object; for
example, where the man page has $file->length() I can get the desired
result by writing $file->audio_properties->length(). From looking at the
code, this seems what is intended, but I'm not sure which is right, the
code or the documentation.
