[PD] shmem and bigger buffer size

so i tested it with linux and it works great, my only problem right now is
that i get an audible glitch when i setmem /dumpmem on a 5760000 samples
size buffer, i tried breaking the setting / dumping to smaller chunks but
it only got worse, is there any workaround?

thanks!
