Hi Stefan

>From readsf~help.pd:

"Open takes a filename, an onset in sample frames, and, as an override,
you may also supply a header size to skip, a number of channels, bytes
per channel, and endianness."

So the second argument (the one after the filename) specifies the number
of audio samples to be skipped at the start when opening the file.
