Keeping the thread talking to the audio back end always running has some advantages:
- The audio card cannot be stolen by other softwares while DSP is
off * A cycle of turning DSP off and on is much faster, since no thread needs to be stopped and started
otoh, releasing the audio backend, allows other software to steal the audio card. i think this is a feature not a bug.
I think it's both... my current plan (which I could be talked out of) would be to add a new option to keep audio device open regardless of DSP being on or off. Probably jack users will want the option 'on' and most others will want it "off".
