you get it in the perform routine: 
http://pd.iem.at/externals-HOWTO/node6.html :

t_int *pan_tilde_perform(t_int *w)
{
   t_pan_tilde *x = (t_pan_tilde *)(w[1]);
   t_sample  *in1 =    (t_sample *)(w[2]);
   t_sample  *in2 =    (t_sample *)(w[3]);
   t_sample  *out =    (t_sample *)(w[4]);
   int          n =           (int)(w[5])  // block size
