I found a solution for my delay-problems: to get accurate delays the 
value for the [delay]-object must be a little bit greater than the block 
size delay, because it will be always truncated to the smaller block 
size without any rounding.

E.g. set delay to 8 to get a delay of 8ms. Set delay to 9.33333333, 
which is the next possible delay using 48kHz and 64samples/block, and 
you won't get 9.333333 - you'll still get 8ms! Set delay to 9.334 and 
you'll get 9.333ms.

I think, the problem is a combination of float-double casting without 
rounding in delay_ft1() (x_time.c) and using if(sys_time < setticks) 
somewhere in m_shed.c.

Truncation and not rounding: is this a bug or a feature? ;-) I propose 
to insert a rounding operation in clock_delay() (m_shed.c).
