[PD] change "sound.wav" to "sound.mp3"

[Roman Haefeli]

as far as i can think, there is no solution with only built-in objects.
at least, i don't know of a way to split a single symbol into a list,
which you certainly would need.
the is [symbol2list] from zexy, which is able to do that.
use [symbol2list .] to convert 'symbol yourfile.wav' to 'list yourfile
wav', then you can turn the last argument of the list 'wav' into
'mp3' (using select).

btw: a [symbol2list] (or whatever it should be called) is really missing
in pd, even more, since one can do the opposite (see franks [list-l2s]
from the list-abs).
