You don't need to stop the flow graph when you are just changing
frequency. You only really need to stop it if you are disconnecting
and reconnecting blocks; changing parameters can be done online.

You said it stops running, but I'm not sure how it stops running? Does
it work for a bit and then stop, or does it never produce anything at
all?
