[PD] Non-transposing delay

[Andy Farnell]

Yes, that's a great point. IIRC that is mainly for slow moving
envelope/control signals. I wonder, if you did it with audio
then you'd have a limited number of times to apply it in a given
interval because the worst case means you get an accumulating
DC offset that will go out of bounds. (?)
