Load Audio: review fixes

- Only plain audio files are decoded; files that point the decoder at
  other files (playlists and the like) are refused.
- A wired Max length is previewed only when its value is known;
  otherwise the face says it is wired.
- Typing 0 for OUT keeps to the end of the file, as documented.
- Playback pauses in a hidden tab and LOOP restarts at the file's end.
- Help page and README no longer claim a late selection decodes fast.

 Upload a sound file, or pick one from the Source list, and the node shows it as a wave. Drag the IN and OUT handles to keep only the part you want, or type the times. Press play to hear just that part. Set **Max length** to the longest sound the next step can take, such as a video's length: anything past it turns red and is cut off, so you see what comes out before you run. Click the red length next to OUT to move OUT to the cut.
