Hm, yes, that's probably difficult to get right. Attached is my
vnsapshot~ vs. vline~ patch to examine switch-and-ramp more closely. 

It seems, that here's I'm a victim of the dsp tree order: the lower
vline~ generating the ramp is starting a little bit too late. With the
[del] object I found, that the earliest I can see a ramp not equal to
0 is about one blocksize later (1.5 msec). 

Still no idea how to get around that ...

Ciao
