[PD] "Prerecord buffer" patch

[matthew jones]

aha, I asked a similar question a number of months ago.
you need to use delwrite~ and delread~

So if you want to continuously buffer the last 5 seconds of audio, send the
audio to an object like:-

[delwrite~ buf1 5000]

and record from the

[delread~ buf1]

giving it the number 5000 (5 times 1000 miliseconds) to tell it to read what
came in 5 seconds ago.
the easiest way is then to delay the 'stop' message by the same amount
(using a non-signal [delay 5000]), so that it continues to record up until
the user stopped the recording, otherwise you will lose the last 5 secs.
