Would the following do the same thing as a "clear"
message?
If you don't need change the amount of delay while using it.
Ah, right.
It works because [delay] doesn't keep a queue of unsent bangs, it just forgets them, while [pipe] does make a queue (which wouldn't work in that circumstance).
Yep.
If you wanted to support variable delay (in the manner that [delread~] does) you'd need to use a [line] with a [<] to figure out when to turn the delread~ back on.
The other difference is that instead of sending a message to a single [delwrite~], you have to modify all [delread~]s that happen to read that delay-buffer.
That's definitely a burden.
Did you add your patch to the tracker?
