[PD] readsf re-blocked up-sampled

[Marco Matteo Markidis]

I think the problem in reading soundfile from hard disk is to access to it,
so reducing the accesses to hard disk can be a good practice to reduce
audio interruption.

the idea to write in a table and then read it outside the up-sampled canvas
sounds great, however it is not clear how to read chunks without every time
close the file descriptor. could be an idea to add a method for read chunks
without close the fd? or there is an alternative way without write code?

best,
marco matteo markidis
