[PD] swallow the first bit of audiofile

[michael strohmann]

omg, i was violating all netiquette do-nots.
please forgive me.

i would have expected that it would probably take longer to look for and read the sound file but not that the playback does not start at the beginning.

unfortunately the raspberry has limited RAM….

i was unsing a 2sec delay between [open soundfile.wav( and [start(  would it help to delay even longer???
