[PD] mouse movement in PD causes audio dropout

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Let's keep this on the list since there are many who know more about  
this issue that me.

As for this one, it doesn't seem to be a Pd-extended issue if it also  
happens with Pd-0.40-2.  Sounds like something related to priority.    
I don't really use Windows, so I can't think of anything else.
