How to gracefully change: SR, AudioDriver, channel swap..

I have a problem for many years, and today I am investigating if it can be solved:

When changing AudioDriver (the drop down module), or changing left and right channels as I do in my testbed, or stopping and restarting a stream, it happens (many times per day) that Flowstone does not like that. It crashes.

Thus, is there a way to inject a module or mechanism that ensures that such "live" operations on a stream are always done gracefully?

Graceful example from Java: AudioLine.stop, then AudioLine.close. Now a new line can be started.

Thanks for any help on this.

I used to get this from time to time on FS 3.08.1 but since I changed to 3.06 it’s pretty much not happened.

As audiodrivers, I have only ASIO4ALL and RME Madiface USB.

The latter gives this problem, let's say, every third time. ASIO4ALL never exposes this problem. And further to that, if Flowstone is "moody" like this, then I have found I can launch ASIO4ALL first, then Madiface, and then Madiface is always accepted.

This also happens when starting from scratch, i.e. with audiodriver = NONE.

Is there someone here that can take a look at the asiodriver selector (the module with driver, samplerate and asio settings), and investigate if audio stream is stopped when user clicks the dropdown, or otherwise?

I just mention this in case someone passes who gets ideas from the description.
