[PD] Recording to Disk

[Johannes Taelman]

Yes, but I think the writesf~ help patch 
("pd/doc/5.reference/help-writesf~.pd") is the authorative example.

But hey, in that example there is a [del 1000] object (del is shorthand 
for delay) connected that can stop the recording automatically one 
second after starting the recording. Did you copy that part too?
