[PD] counting elapsed samples

[Ian Smith-Heisters]

Yes, that's my secondary solution, and actually what I ended up doing 
for the time being. It seems inefficient to me, however, to have a bunch 
of arrays sitting around that I'm not using entirely. While I won't run 
into a problem right away with a gig of memory, it won't be too long 
with such an inefficient model. However, this may be more efficient than 
trying to resize them on the fly. I'm always looking for the "right" or 
"elegant" way to do things in programming, but sometimes the way that 
works is elegant because it works at all.
