I'm just interested, how would you argue that the logical timing of the 
following is sub-adc/dac-block (which it is)?

[t b b]
  |    \
  |     \
  |      \
  |       \
[t b b]  [random 100]
  |        |
  |       [/ 100]
  |       /
  |      /
  |     /
[delay]
  |
[t b b]
  |   |
[timer]
  |
[print]

Clearly we all agree that [del] follows Pd's time tagged execution. So 
this time tag must be set with respect to the whole logical tree, 
including the new value given by the [random] object, right?

cheers,

Peter
