[PD] dsp start/stop

[Miller Puckette]

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.)
