DSP LLE on thread used to be awesome. Back before New-AX-HLE, hundreds of games had major issues and nearly all games had minor issues with DSP HLE, so DSP LLE was the only solution for good audio. DSP LLE on thread helped greatly with LLE's power demands and helped make a lot of games much more playable. Sure a small percentage of games (zelda ucode) had problems with it, but it helped the majority (AX ucode). I pretty much had it on constantly.
Nowadays though, it's not that great. New-AX-HLE means HLE is just fine for all AX games. The only remaining games that could benefit are the zelda ucode games, which tend to have random crashing issues with LLE on thread. DSP LLE on thread's glory days are well behind us.
For what little it is worth, if you are running a game in AX you can still use DSP LLE on Separate Thread with no side effects. But the list of games with problems with New-AX-HLE can be counted on one hand, and all of those problems are very minor... so there really isn't much point.
