Using chuck linux-jack this gives me reasonable numbers between -1 and 1.

Using chuck linux-alsa I'm able to play the file I've read into sndBuf; but trying to copy it via .valueAt gives absurdly high ["out of range"] numbers at each point. [It can be a different high number different times I run chuck, but the number it is turns up at every point I sample.]

Is there a fix for this? Aside from using jack on a computer where it befnurgles the midi?
