[PD] For sample players based on [line~], [vline~], or, [phasor~], how can we be sure all samples are being played?

But then you are talking about aliasing due to the Nyquist–Shannon 
sampling theorem, right? I thought the aliasing was due to the presence 
of [line~] and the glissando, not simply because of the sampling theorem 
(the glissando simply helps to make the effect obvious, but a single 
oscillator with high enough frequency would produce the frequency 
folding, am I right?). in that case, I do understand what you mean.

Thanks and take care,
Gilberto
