If you don't need change the amount of delay while using it.

It works because [delay] doesn't keep a queue of unsent bangs, it just 
forgets them, while [pipe] does make a queue (which wouldn't work in that 
circumstance).

If you wanted to support variable delay (in the manner that [delread~] 
does) you'd need to use a [line] with a [<] to figure out when to turn the 
delread~ back on.

The other difference is that instead of sending a message to a single 
[delwrite~], you have to modify all [delread~]s that happen to read that 
delay-buffer.
