What is happening, is that you are getting some "inf" or "nan" output 
from this:

> #X obj 44 320 expr~ pow((int(pow(($v1*$i2) \, 3))) \, -3);

and "inf" or "nan" multiplied by 0 is "nan".

"nan" <-> 0 transitions appear to be audible from [dac~], which may or 
may not be a bug.  (tested with JACK and OSS on Linux with Pd-0.39-2 and 
Pd-0.40-1, both from Miller's site).

See attached patch for an example.
