sndfiler preallocates the buffer, and loads the sound into this memory
region ...
it's not only swapping one pointer to this memory region ... the whole
dsp chain contains pointers to this region and has thus has to be
updated ... the bottleneck is the pd kernel itself, not the external

i suggested two changes:
- observer objects to track these pointers
- add one more memory dereference to the dsp functions

maybe one of these solutions will make it into the pd kernel before
2015 ...

so, blame pd, not sndfiler ...

cheers ... tim

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making
something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that
they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it 'creative
observation.' Creative viewing.
