[PD] sfplay / playing with soundfile from disk

[moritz]

eo list

im sure this question was asked before, im not a good archive-hunter..

i want to play soundfiles directly from the harddisk, but also sometimes 
from the middle/anywhere from the soundfile.
i found the sfplay from zexy with the message [goto x( , but how precise 
is that? it tells me i can play from a byte n, but i'm always confuse 
what means bytes related to samples with a samplingrate 44100?

ok, i want to can play soundfiles precise started from any chosen sample..

any other suggestions than sfplay and goto?

is reading sounds from a harddisk more click-free than loading into a table?


thanx
