Maybe there needs to be an option to run a separate loop with a dummy buffer in the case audio dsp is stopped by the host.

I had some trouble getting started in Reaper too... it turns out that Reaper doesn't run audio plug-ins unless Reaper's "transport" is running.  When the transport is stopped, Pd's GUI doesn't function.

 Are you able to open / save patches when the transport is running? If not, there's a problem in there somewhere...

I need to add something to the doc about this, or perhaps even think of a way to keep the Pd scheduler running when audio isn't getting computed...

cheers
