I forgot to mention that i can't use sfplay~ since PdDroidParty doesn't support externals...

Hi,
I m trying to write a multitrack recorder based on writesf~ and readsf~ . I m faced with a serious issue... There seems to be some latency either when writing to a file or reading from it (i can't tell). This means that i can't record a second track on top of another as an overdub and playback both. Assuming that Pd's diplayed latency in the audio settings is right (???), that is 100ms, i tried triggering the readsf~ after a 100 ms-long delay, to no avail. I thought it would be a piece of cake to program this, but well, apparently it's not...? Needless to say that i can't use table as i plan to use it for possibly long recordings (my goal is to use it on a phone with PdDroidParty).
So here's the question : is there any latency when writing or reading to a file, and if yes, is it measurable and foreseeable?
Thanks!
Pierre
