If DSP is on, you get a bang. If it's off, you won't.
Yes, that's pretty much expected, I guess. After all, it's not
[savebang] ;-)
Perhaps [r pd-dsp-started] should only send bangs when dsp starts or
stops, and not when the dsp graph is redrawn.
When the DSP graph gets rebuilt, DSP *does* stop and start (again).
even though I do understand that, for a tiny moment, the dsp needs to
be off behind the scenes
It doesn't matter how much time passes between stopping and starting
DSP, the point is that the DSP graph has or might have changed and
"pd-dsp-started" will report it.
If, say, you want to send one and only one bang to [switch~] so as to
graph tables when DSP starts
What do you consider a "real" start of DSP?
Actually, I'm rather asking myself whether it's necessary that saving
triggers a rebuilt of the DSP graph...

So, If I am expecting a bang because I saved and DSP is off, it just
bugs me that no bang is sent :)
If, say, you want to send one and only one bang to [switch~] so as to
graph tables when DSP starts, then [r pd-dsp-started] is only useful
if you spigot-out future bangs/saves/etc, otherwise you are graphing
tables on every save...
It's a feature if you use it for randomness, say, to randomize seeds
according to when dsp on/off switching or graph redrawing falls, say
linked with a [timer] object :)
Perhaps [r pd-dsp-started] should only send bangs when dsp starts or
stops, and not when the dsp graph is redrawn.
In any case, I think it's the misnomer what's confusing me. I realize
that saving redraws the dsp graph, but I don't see why the dsp would
"start" if it was already switched "on", even though I do understand
that, for a tiny moment, the dsp needs to be off behind the scenes.

it's neither a bug nor a feature.
the DSP-graph is re-built when the patch is saved, and so the
"pd-dsp-started" is emitted.

how so?
(a [metro] will also send bangs while patching, and yet it is
useful in
live-coding contexts.)
