CLM: accessing the output file

[Mari]

I am making a granular synthesis instrument that can make grains that 
overlap, so I want to read any data that has been written to the output
file and add it to the sample that is currently being computed to avoid
pops and clicks.  I think I need to open a stream to the output file to be
able to do this.  Can I use 

( definstrument grani ( some-args )
    ( let*
        ( f ( open-input the-output-file ))
        ( input-from-output-file ( make-readin f ))
        ...some more stuff...)
   
    ...the rest of the instrument...)

or will this not work?

Thanks,

Mari
