Very... At least to according to some testing I've been doing with Csound
5.10 (double samples) for OS X.  
I tested two cases:

i 1 0 [$durationInSamples / 44100]  ; samples to seconds
...
ilength filelen "$file"
isamples = ilength * 44100  ; seconds to samples

I've run thousands of random numbers through $durationInSamples, and so far,
I've not come across a single rounding error.

If anyone wants to double check my work, here are the files I used:

Best,
Jake

Thanks for the report, that's impressive.
