I have the exact same problem... this sounds like a good idea. Note that with DSP stopped time measurement has to come from gettimeofday() instead of counting DSP blocks...! This means surgery to the main scheduler, which I've been loathe to attempt (but now seems like a good moment.)

hi,
before I go about patching my copy of pd I was wondering if there were any major objections to free the /dev/dsp filehandle when stopping the dsp and reopening it when starting it again (under linux for now). Since I have pd running pretty much all of the time but sometimes like to use a waveeditor aswell (without patching it to write to a pipe ;) I think this would be a pretty usefull feature esp. in connection with a cmd line switch like -freedsp
what do you think ?
