I guess the shifter+mixer makes sense for the harmonizer--I just don't
see why it's running when I just want to hear the pitch shifting
effect by itself.  Is that just a mistake?

This is unrelated, but when I use [openpanel] under linux, it only
lets me select *.pd files.  I guess I'll mess with readsf~ by passing
messages so I can try it out with some sound files.
