[PD] configuring multiple readanysf~ objects for efficient playback

[i go bananas]

isn't readanysf~ just a more comprehensive version of readsf~ ?  ie. it
plays back files directly from the hard drive?

I'd think you'd be best advised to load your samples into tables and play
them back with [tabplay~] or [tabread4~] with that many at once.
