Returns the loop segment start-time (in seconds) of stored function table number x. This reports the duration of the direct recorded attack and decay parts of a sound sample, prior to its looped segment. Returns zero (and a warning message) if the sample does not contain loop points.
Here is an example of the ftlptim opcode. It uses the files ftlptim.orc, ftlptim.sco, and mary.wav.
