Howto determine size?

Hi,

I've written a gstreamer program (my first!) . See at bottom of email.

It just plays an mp3 file. What I'm interested in is the progress of
bytes decoded and the final size.
Now the program gives the "size " in seconds, not in bytes. That's not
aproblem, but first the total duration is false:
It should be 2:57 in stead of 3:12.

sbon [ ~/Programmeren/testgst ]$ ./test /home/sbon/Music/The\ Doors\
The\ Ultimate\ Best\ Of\ 2011\ Remastered\ 320\ Kbps/02\ Strange\
Days.mp3
Time: 0:00:05.074126984 / 0:03:12.604200000
(break using Ctrl-C)

When rewriting it to use the bytes, it also does not report the right
size. Instead of the format GST_FORMAT_TIME, I've used
GST_FORMAT_BYTES, and of course another format of the g_print
function. But then a far to small size is reported when printing len.

Futher is works as expected, great.

Stef
