1) My Setup:
Windows 7 64bit
External USB-DAC (Yulong U100)
2) Steps to reproduce the problem
Mediamonkey Settings:
Use wasapi output plugin (directsound works just fine)
set exclusive mode (this is crucial for this error.. without exclusive mode everything's working as expected)
set 44khz / 16 bit ( I actually tried other settings there as well... with 48khz it gets even worse)
Input file: doesn't matter (I tried 44khz flacs and 128kbit/s mp3s)
Reproducible: Always
1.) Start playback of any file you wish.
-> Everything sounds as expected
2.) Press pause
-> The sound stops... ;D
3.) Resume playback
-> Playback resumes, but overall the speed of the playback is veeeery slow and everything gets extremely distorted. It's hard to describe, but it sounds like every single beat just lasts three times as long as normal, so the sound is totally unlistenable to.
Interestingly setting the output format to 48khz for testing purposes seems to make the sound even slower (but I can't really tell for sure).
When MM4 is restarted, everything sounds normal again (unless you press pause of course). Switching between songs on the playlist does not trigger this behaviour.
I've also tested the same with the foobar wasapi plugin and this does not occur there. I can't find an exclusive mode setting in foobar, but since other applications (eg a youtube video) are muted during a foobar playback, I guess "exclusive mode" is the default behaviour anyway.

Thanks for looking into this!
