I am working with a handful of samples, all of which are wav-files, single-channel, 16-Bit, 11025 Hertz, to be precise.
Running PD at 44100 Hertz, the samples are played back up-sampled, naturally.

I understand the reasons behind this, but how do I remedy this in PD, so I can play back the samples at original pitch?
How do I change the rate at which a sample is played back, without changing PDs sample rate?

I've spent a lot of time with block~ now, it should be the right tool for this I thought.
But unfortunately, I really don't understand how to handle the block~ object, and all reading just adds to the confusion.
No matter what I do, everything just turns silent as soon as I interact in any way with block~.
until I delete it again.

All help appreciated, Thanks a lot.

Right-click the block object for more help......
You can only "do" multiples of 2 if you use [inlet~] or [outlet~] in the patch.... so for 11025Hz you will have to have your soundcard set to 44100Hz ..... 4X.....

Works well in extended, but seems to want to often crash 0.47.1 vanilla...... maybe block sizes?..... vanilla seems more stable with a lower block size..... so
[block~ 2048 1 0.25] for your application.
But in extended, the quality is poor, so stick with [block~ 4096 1 0.25]

You can do weird multiples of the block size, but as you cannot then communicate with the mother patch containing a [dac~] I cannot see how it could be used (for you... for this application).
