this will not work at all.

no this is something completely different.
[line~] is to convert messages to signals (with slopes), it has nothing 
to do with interpolating signals.

what you are looking for is called "upsampling".

pd's dsp tree needs to have one sub-patch to have a fixed size 
block-size, overlap-factor and sample-rate. (because that is the way how 
pd works.) this is the main reason to not being able to make an external 
that outputs more samples than are coming in (i think max is different here)

anyhow, you can do upsampling (and downsampling) with the third argument 
of the [block~] object.

there is a help-patch in 3.audio.examples/ that explains how to use this 
feature.
