[PD] -batch option

[Roman Haefeli]

Hi Oli

The problem is not that [delay] quantizes messages on block boundaries,
but [writesf~] does so ([delay] is totally precise). If you want exactly
1s wav files, you need to replace [writesf~]. You could create a table
with the desired length and use [tabwrite~]  to record to that table.
Then you could send a 'write' message to [soundfiler] to export table
content to a wav file. The resulting wav file should have the exact
length of the table (I haven't tested that, though).
