Hi Phil,

Thanks for the suggestion, and for further clarifying (in my mind) what I'll need. I think readsf~ won't do because of the "open before play" requirement -- it will introduce latency and prevent re-triggering, if I'm not mistaken.
It seems that readsfv~ from moonlib could do the job: it does direct-from-disk reading. I tried with a 650MB wav file with no perceptible latency.
Plus keep in mind that once a file has been read, it can stay for some time in the system disk caches.
