If an object takes 5 arguments, can i assign the fifth argument but leave the 4th at default value?

Is there a placeholder argument? I want to do something like "preload foo.aiff 1".

No. Simply explicity set the default values.

This is the way things have been since Max was invented. Attributes are a new(-ish) way of directly specifying one particular parameter without having to go through your entire list.
