Bitstreaming - behavior during pause (WASAPI exclusive issue)

That's just how it is unfortunately with using WASAPI exclusive. You can't use WASAPI exclusive and pause it, expecting it to let go of exclusive access so other apps can access and use it while playback is paused, because it doesn't and it can't. It actually kinda defeats the purpose of exclusive access. Regardless, you can reproduce this with other apps that can use WASAPI exclusive and you'll get the same result, and this isn't a Media Center issue at all. The only workaround is to stop playback, unfortunately.
htnut:
Should I be able to bitstream Atmos without having to use “exclusive” mode? I seem to get an error when loading a BD if exclusive is unchecked.
Awesome Donkey:
No, bitstreaming requires exclusive mode.
htnut:
If I use the WDM driver, should I be able to play Zoom Player audio while MC30 has an Atmos BD on pause?
Hendrik:
No, only one source can be playing with exclusive output (and "pause" is technically still playing). That includes MC itself doing two separate things.
