Summary: audio math objects don't handle one-element lists as floats

Initial Comment:
If you send a one-float-element list, such as [list 123(, into the right inlet of a [*~], [+~], [-~], etc., you get the following error message:

"error: inlet: expected 'signal' but got 'list'"

Instead, the one-element list should be treated just as a float, since:
1) [*~], [+~] etc. accept floats on its right inlet
2) a one-float-element list is supposed to be equivalent to a float to all effects in PD.

All control objects (including [route] and math operators) handle one-float-element lists as floats, and one-symbol-element lists as symbols.
