Well, [spigot~] maybe. But here's a deeper question... because I would 
choose a simple [*~] with a zero or one to gate on and off the audio stream.

But what is actually happening there is not the same as disconnecting
or "halting" the signal. If you created a subpatch with an inlet~,
outlet~ and a [switch~] unit controllable from above the subpatch
how does that compare to [spigot~]? I mean - are audio blocks no
longer passed to connected objects beyond the "break"? Is there any
significant computational advantage to disconnecting rather than
zeroing audio blocks in a typical patch?
