[PD] long sound samples

hi

I need to play several small loops from a pretty big sound (500M). I 
would like to use xsample external as I need to change pitch, etc ... 
But the file is too big to load it into the soundfiler.

Loops are chosen according to some rules from a starting point onwards, 
I should be able to change the starting point on the fly. Sorry, 
difficult to explain. Before I had something similar that was sampling a 
sound stream from a cd player I was manipulating, but now i want to 
reproduce this with a sound file as the sound source.

How should I go about this? I was thinking that maybe I should copy the 
parts of the sound I need to use into tables to later play them? I 
remember there was an external to do this (copyarray maybe?) but I am 
not sure this is the right way to solve the problem. But for this I 
would need to have the sound imported into a table already.

Is there a way to load only one part of a sample into a table?

thanks!
