Hi Andrew,

I am having a hard time understanding what you are suggesting.

I would be pleased not to.

How do I detect discontinuities? It is easy to see when printed visually but I 
do not see how I can approach this with code. Do I need the ‘complete’ function 
at once and check or can I do it in runtime for each sample. I think so since 
you suggest that I can jump around within the function without alias? Because 
that would sound like a solution I wanted to have from the very beginning.

I do not quite get this: C(1). Does it mean I have C(n) values of the function 
where C(1) is the second value?
What frequency does the integrated sync function has?
What is a 'fraction of a sample'?

I am missing to many aspects of your suggestion. Any hints where to learn about 
this would be appreciated.
