Description

ofBaseSoundPlayer does not have getDuration() function.

openALSoundPlayer already has a "duration" variable but it is protected.

Also nice to re-consider about naming with following function which already implemented.

ofSoundBuffer::getDurationMS()

ofSoundBuffer::getDurationMicros()

ofSoundBuffer::getDurationNanos()

ofBaseVideoPlayer::getDuration()

Research direction

Start by reading ofBaseSoundPlayer and the existing openALSoundPlayer duration member, then compare the naming of ofSoundBuffer::getDurationMS(), getDurationMicros(), getDurationNanos(), and ofBaseVideoPlayer::getDuration(). Define the public duration API consistently across the sound-player interface and confirm that the existing duration value can support it.
