Ok - will try that too. Reset does not quite as much as init, let's try out, 
will tell if i see any difference.

Exactly. Also if the ARM hangs a sound fragment was played in a loop until 
clean restart, very annoying ;-)

Maybe there is a way  to do this just "on demand" in the frontend loop, maybe 
some register is reflecting that the ves is aquiring some maintainance... 
specs would be great.
