I always thought that Pd would execute messages in between audio blocks. 
So if i sent two messages (stop old file, start new file), i expected 
them to happen in a gap between two blocks, hence gapless recorded files 
possible. Franks demonstration shows that i have to explicitly time 
those messages according to a block~ (or equivalent) in order to get 
this behavior. Still all blurry to me, let's look on!
