I read:

I am a little afraid, since start/stop dsp is used in some of my patches in sense of 'mute' and realy fast (eg 5 ticks) to let the cpu (message stack) catch up... so i think if the whole audiocard buffer has to be filled and emptied, there could be even some clicks on some soundcards which looses sync or so... so in concert situation its not a good idea...

that's why I thought adding a cmd line switch that allows you to choose pd's behaviour would be a good idea.
