For [soundfiler] you can also use a symbol to pass as the array name and 
that will correcly translate $0 Eg.

[bang(

[symbol $0-tab]

[read -resize myfile.aiff $1(
|
[soundfiler]

As for [tabwrite] and [tabread] using $0 will work fine (e.g. [tabwrite $0]

For sending messages to arrays such as resize, normalize etc. you can 
use [send $0-tab] objects instead of the [;resize tablename( notation
