print~ is a bit trickier... send it 64 bangs at each sample for a block size of 1 and it'll only print once, and from the beginning of a 64 block size boundary.
seems like working along with different sizes of block is more the exception than the rule in Pd.
I find it all curious and kinda hard to understand/predict results now.

print~ will always start printing from the beginning of a 64 block period
*The same here. Perhaps it helps to see print~ as the object that givesyou one audio block as numbers rather than an 'audio rate print' thatdoes things faster than message timing.*
I also meant that it can't help but start from a 64 block boundary, even if the block is less, such as "1", but I think that this is because the bang button is always aligned to a 64 block tick, as I pointed out later, so I may have to run other tests to see how [print~] actually behaves with different size blocks.

It seems there are other objects that somehow restrict themselves to a
64
size block minimum.

snapshot~ will always output the last sample from an audio block of 64
This sounded strange at first to me, but it makes sense if you consider that snapshot~'s role is to give you one audio sample from the audio stream. Since you will only receive messages in between audio blocks the last sample in a vector is the one that is closest (in timing) to the point at which you receive the value in the gui.
