sndfile_info checks both the header and the file contents.

I'm looking for a command line tool that can
determine the length
(duration in seconds) of a sound file using more than just the file
header.
Try: sox $FILE -n stats 2>&1 | awk '/^Length / {print $2}'
That will decode the entire file and run it through the
sox "stats" effect.
I just tried it on a 28MB FLAC file (3:49.80s) truncated to 5MB
with:
dd if=$ORIG of=truncated.flac bs=5M count=1
And was able to reproduce soxi showing the the length as
3:49.80 but "sox .. -n stats" showed only 44.304s
