You can have one-sample accuracy if you load the sound into a table/array and
play it that way.  You might try comparing oggread~'s accuracy to readsf~.
I've had pretty accurate playback with reafsf~, certainly a lot better than
what you are getting.  That should tell you whether the problem lies in oggread~.

I know that Olaf Matthes, the author of the pdogg objects, took them closed
source and started selling "ogg pro" objects for Max/MSP.  They might be
improved.  But it would be nice if someone fixed up any issues in the pdogg
objects.
