[PD] vline~ precision, or sequentially segmented playback of a buffer

that's not a problem, later there will be some pitch correction happening  
(if I also get a good enough pitch shifter, but that's another subject)
The original audio is a "normal" sample, I just replaced it with a sine  
for the debugging.

:) I didn't want to write a big mail before, but don't worry about these.  
The fragments missing there are played by another player. But explaining  
much more would just look the problem I'l chasing now look more complex  
than it is.

The main problem is really just the [vline~] output that should be  
continuous, but isn't.


In fact, after writing this patch I recalled that I didn't save the output  
of the reading index into a buffer yet, to see how it looks. I'll be doing  
that later today.

Thanks,

João
