In general if it something is freezing your system it is most likely not the 
apps fault (except you are using hacks like vidix).
I went through the driver again, but didn't find anything that might be 
causing this.
Are you sure this only happens with ao dsound or also with other directx
apps? Maybe updating your soundcards drivers helps?
On the other hand it might also be a different problem. What happens without 
audio eg. -ao null?
Otherwise I can only recommend you to use -ao win32 or set ao=win32 int the 
config file.
