häh?

the media menu items in Pd <=0.42 reads "audio ON" and "audio OFF".
these do not match the "pd dsp" message, but kind of relate to "compute
audio".

indeed in pd-gui-rewrite, the "audio ON" is renamed to "DSP An" and "DSP
Aus" (seems like the former is a demand for a de_AT localization :-))
but that doesn't really help the argument.

makes sense.
otoh, most newbies (those who probably won't start using [; pd dsp 1()
will want to turn on audio rather than learn what "dsp" means.
on the third hand, they will probaby wonder why they have to turn on
anything, so it won't matter whether it's audio or dsp.

finally: this is surely time for a tooltip lingering over the "DSP"
button, explaining, that this is the button to press if you want to hear
something.
