Audio handling in Maya.standalone?

[MarkJ]

Hi all, has anybody ever used audio with maya.standalone? 

we have a backend process that our build machines trigger which involves the import of audio files for processing. Now by the look of it you can't import audio in Maya standalone, or rather, the audio you import looks like placeholder as it always has no length... which is a real issue for us. Anybody have any insight on this?

thanks

Mark

import maya.standalone

maya.standalone.initialize(name='python')

import maya.cmds as cmds

audioPath="mywavfile.wav"

cmds.file(audioPath, i=True, type='audio', options='o=0')

audioNode=cmds.ls(type='audio')[0]

cmds.getAttr('%s.endFrame' % audioNode)
