[PD] For sample players based on [line~], [vline~], or, [phasor~], how can we be sure all samples are being played?

you don't hear it with a single sine osc~ until very high frequencies 
(half the sample rate at best) as it doesn't have many partials

the higher frequency partials in the table in the attached patch fold 
over even when the oscillator fundamental is fairly low
