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

[Dan Wilcox]

As the error says, you shouldn't create a direct feedback loop with signal cords.

I usually use [throw~] and [catch~] for send/receive busses via the rjlib [c_bus], [c_tobus], & [c_frombus] wrappers: https://github.com/rjdj/rjlib <https://github.com/rjdj/rjlib>

Additionally, I've made stereo versions ([c_bus2], [c_tobus2], [c_frombus2]) in my own rc-patches: https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches <https://github.com/danomatika/rc-patches>

I suppose we are introducing (tiny) relays with every step, but in practice I have never perceived it. Then again, most of what I do does not relay on "sub-2ms" latency. For a large project at work, we have a signal path with 64 channels using throw~/catch~ like: input/soundfile channel -> spatialization -> virtual speaker -> output.
