Even if it hasn't to work in real time Pd is probably the
ideal tool to prototype such a system. The alternative
would be to write some ad-hoc C/C++ code, possibly using
existing 'feature extraction' libraries or plugin code.

As a first guess, what you need would be:

- (optional) some pre-filtering to make the trigger
  more reliable,
- the trigger itself,
- a delay on the trigger,

and in parallel

- (optional) some pre-filtering for the envelope
  follower,
- an envelope follower,
- when the delayed trigger arrives, read the envelope
  follower and start the sample playback.
