Hi Jerry,

You're not stupid, it's just damn fiddly sometimes. I end up having to
read through my own docs each time - I shall work on
(publish-this-to-youtube) ;)

Don't run jack - but call start-audio with 1764 buffer size (for pal) this
is the way to set the number of samples it will read from the audio file
per frame.

It can take a path if you want it to - but - it needs to be a wav.

I'll be able to do this later, let me know how you get on.
