[PD] question about 09.pvoc.pd

[cb]

Hi,
I've been studying DSP theory, FFT-based techniques in particular.
I've found the FFT tutorials in PureData to be a great place to see those techniques applied to sound.

However, one little implementation detail still has me confused: 
In the engine of the phase vocoder patch (the FFT-ANALYSIS subpatch), there is a Float object which is used to calculate the next read location in milliseconds.  This value is then converted to a sample position & passed through a Line~ to specify the start location of the first Tabread4~.

What I don't understand is why the conversion of the Float from milliseconds to samples doesn't take into account the overlap of the subpatch-in other words, why isn't the local sample rate used, instead of the sample rate of the parent window?

Thanks in advance for any insight anyone might have to share.
