-// Streaming a File in From Disk
-
-
-// In some cases, for instance when working with very large files, you might not want to load a sound completely into memory. Instead, you can stream it in from disk a bit at a time, using the UGen DiskIn, and Buffer's 'cueSoundFile' method:
-
-		// (
-		// SynthDef("tutorial-Buffer-cue",{ arg out=0,bufnum;
-		// 	Out.ar(out,
-		// 		DiskIn.ar( 1, bufnum )
-		// 	)
-
-		// }).send(s);
-		// )
-
-
-		// b = Buffer.cueSoundFile(s,"sounds/a11wlk01-44_1.aiff", 0, 1);
-		// y = Synth.new("tutorial-Buffer-cue", [\bufnum,b.bufnum], s);
-
-		// b.free; y.free;
-
-
-// This is not as flexible as PlayBuf (no rate control), but can save memory.
