It will most certainly cause problems if/when MPlayer hangs.
I don't know how/where to add suboptions, maybe somebody else can 
improve the patch?
As far as I know most people use DirectSound with winamp, and 
applications using DirectSound automatically get (slightly?) higher 
priority under Windows... which once again convinces me the Windows is 
one big mess.
