sndfiler needs pd devel. choose your own adventure:

1) get pd devel to compile
2) bug the MAIN developer to consider adding threaded soundfiler
3) buy Max/MSP
4) use PD/MSP and sfread~/readsf~ to load files into arrays
5) use soundfiler and live with the dropouts
6) make your patch send OSC to something that is better equipped to play audio, like Sooperlooper, or Chuck
