[PD] request assistance with crackles and pops in VFOs, driven by modulating accelerometer signals

There isn't just 1 [osc~] object in the whole system, there are (at 
least) 6, 3 for each of 2 triaxial accelerometers.

If I try an [osc~] into a [dac~] independently there is no problem 
(driven "by hand").

I'll try again just driving the frequency of 1 [osc~] with 1 dimension 
of 1 accelerometer (happens to be a Wiimote via OSC).

A good idea to improve that anyway, and I did, however there is no 
obvious audio improvement.

Precisely why I am "bamboozled", it may well have another cause in my 
wider synthesis system.
(I have used a quite similar accelerometer audio synthesis system for 
years in JSyn without this trouble).

Thanks for taking the trouble to consider my situation and challenge my 
assumptions, appreciated,

I'll keep looking/listening, and try breaking things back down to a very 
simple test suite first,

Darren
