[PD] Delay circuit feedback DSP error-- only when signal path leaves abstraction

[Christof Ressi]

Hi William,

I second IOhannes and Alex that it's better to attach actual patches, 
but from looking at the picture it seems like you attempt to do your 
"external" feedback path via signal connections and this obviously 
doesn't work because it creates a DSP loop. The workaround is to use a 
pair of [s~]/[r~] for one side of the aux path, which "breaks" the DSP 
graph. Note that in your "inner" feedback path you're already doing 
this, that's why you don't get a DSP loop there.

Note that [s~]/[r~] is basically a delay line of a single block, unless 
you force the order with signal connections, see 
"3.audio.examples/G05.execution.order"
