Maybe you've already tried this. But, how about blacklisting the audio
driver and then trying a modprobe/rmmod to insert and remove themodule. This should attempt to boot the DSP upon every modprobe. 
But what I am not sure about is whether the rmmod would succeed if the
IPC times out because the DSP has crashed.
