I get "audio I/O stuck... closing audio" messages all the time... even when i'm not doing anything gui related.

I would like to be able to minimize this; or at the very least, be able to restart the global DSP without clicking "compute audio" in the main window, or using the keyboard shortcut.

Is there any way to do this? Is there any way of troubleshooting what is causing these dropouts?

Are there any workarounds? What exactly causes audio I/O to get "stuck"?

It happens regularly and unpredictably, doesn't matter what patch I'm using. I'm running Linux ALSA, and it's possible to reduce the occurrence by giving PD exclusive hardware access, but it doesn't eliminate the problem.

I don't think there's anything I can do to eliminate this problem; redrawing arrays for example will almost always cause a dropout.

I'm more interested in finding a way to programmatically restart the DSP, is there any way to do this?
