buffer~ without duration argument not working

My understanding was that the duration argument for buffer~ was optional, but when I create a buffer~ object and give no duration, nothing gets recorded into it. If I add a duration argument everything works fine. Am I missing something.

if it doesnt have one, you need to set a size when using "read", "replace" or record~.

and instead of "import" you need to use "importresize" (which i find pretty strange)

otherwise you can use "setsize" to buffer at any time, then you dont have to bother about formatting proper read/record stuff.
