You will have to have an envelope to avoid clicks, even though it need only be 10-20 ms, which is fairly inaudible. Otherwise, you'll just have to make sure that the beginning and end of your sample both are exactly the same amplitude (traditionally 0) or the discontinuity will cause a click.
I'm guessing that most pro audio apps automatically envelope their playback by 10-20 ms when scrubbing the sample. If it is a quick linear or exponential envelope of that small of a time, which then stays at 1 until the very end of the playback, you won't even notice it.

yes, the question was why want it as smooth in pd as in other softwares...
but hey, you say it was as bas in all you had... hmm, that sounds weird to me, cause thats not what i got.
well, the matter is also not the sample anyway... being dodgy or not, and it is actually a looping matter in pd.
i aint got that many loops here actually, so I couldnt try them to see if another .wav file would do better... i will look for it though... and test it.
Do you guys have any patch at all that loops .wav files rather nicely the way I want, which is continuosly loud without envelopes and all?

then i opened it in a sound editor, and the start point is zero, but the end point is not zero, which would be why pd makes a "drastic" click.
i will now bow out of this discussion, because i can't see why anyone would want to loop such a dodgy sample in the first place.
