Think of the modulating signal as a triangle wave altering the frequency 
of [osc~]. As the change becomes fast and large, when the slope is big, then
it's become FM giving us a bunch of sidebands. If a large change happens
briefly a spike of new harmonics will be heard as a click.

What might be in Darrens data stream? 

100, 101.2, 99.98, 101.7, 102.21, 0, 102.96, 103.2

A spurious zero like that would cause a problem.

So, it's a good idea to look at the data closely to see what's going on.
