I have to second Peter: the "pd-dsp-started" message is a public, 
documented message! It's just that not many people know it exists :-) 
Judging from the [samplerate~] help patch, the message has been added in 
Pd 0.47.

Saying how it works is a "bug" belies that fact that I don't believe it was ever intended to be used for this and just because it can be grabbed via a [r] also doesn't guarantee anything.
