Hello, it seems I have found a solution to the "pause" issue. If my mme-wrapper dll gets a WODM_PAUSE Message the directKS Pin is not stopped. Advantage: The Position off the device can still be polled if implemented that way. Following WODM_WRITE Messages are queued in the dll, but the driver is not called. The output becomes silent after all buffers in the driver queue have been played.
