Detailed Description of Bug

While having Whitecap as the default visualization effects in Windows Media Player with the Whitecap screensaver configured as the default screensaver, I've noticed that if I pause Windows Media Player and wait until whitecap screensaver activates, (or make a coffee whip up some toast and by the time I come back the Whitecap screensaver kicks in). Then return to play or unpause Windows Media Player to again play mp3's I was listening to - the M-Audio Firewire 410 seems to lose connectivity to the PC hence error from Windows Media Player is displayed.

I then need to Power off the PC and reboot in order to have the PC recognize the M-Audio Firewire 410 sound card again, (a warm or soft reset (windows reboot option) fails to recognize the M-Audio).

If I configure the screensaver using the windows logo screensaver, or choose the blank screen screensaver option, I don't have this problem!!

I've noticed this since upgrading to the latest version of whitecap (WhiteCap_514_Platinum.exe). I can't recall having this problem with either 505 orm 511??
