[PD] Multitrack recorder

[Pierre Massat]

Ok, so there should be no latency linked to writesf~.

According to it's page in pdpedia, it seems like sfplay~ is the only
playback object that makes it possible to do multitrack recording and
overdubbing. I'm wondering why...

Thinking about it now, it looks like it should be a problem with the
upstream latency before adc~. And i guess the only way i can fix this is by
playing track (n-1) with a delay with respect to track n equal to this
latency (since time travel doesn't exist yet).
