[PD-dev] audio interruptions from outside events (only with Pd)

We are in the middle of trying to make [hidio] as robust as possible in terms of plugging and unplugging devices. One thing I noticed is that if I have Pd running only a sine wave, then I plug or unplug a USB device, I get an interruption in the sound.

If I do the same thing with Audacity or Max/MSP, there is not interruption in the sound. Any ideas what's the root of this?
