[PD] recording 192khz

[Miller Puckette]

This is almost certainly being limited by write speed to the storage
medium.  If the file lives on an SDHC card, you can probably improve
things by getting one that has a higher write speed.  (The specifications
are very confusing so it might take a while to figure out what kind is how
fast).

Alternatively, you could attach an ordinary USB disk drive to write soundfiles
to.  Just a regular spinny-disk one; the solid state ones aren't any faster
because either type is limited by USB bus speed.
