[PD] mp3 proxy

hi thomas,

I read:

1) dunno
1.5) I used alsaplayer for that (on linux, with jack), and I have the 
     feeling that readanyfs~ will do it one day.
     august are you in vienna ? we could meet at the pure date and that
     would make up a nice afternoon project ;)

the advantage would be none, if you want to 'access as tabread4~' then put
it in a table, and keep in mind that pd's internal sample format is 32bit
floats so a 1minute stereo file will be 60*srate*2*4 bytes.

if you can wait for even longer (and you have enough ram to waste) you could
record it into [a] table[s] using readanyfs~ or mp3play~ or whatever.
