can we see the current playing position of a wave file in MAX?

how-to-display-current-playing-position-in-waveform

All you need is a 0. to 1. ramp that relates to playback (ie. the sync output of groove~ converted to a float)

Then plug that into either a [line $1] message or [prepend line] and plug into [waveform~].

Or just plug the float ramp into a multislider with 1 slider and a range of 0. to 1.
