Hmmm, very interesting. It looks like it was trying unsuccessfully to load a music file, and DirectShow spit out a log file. Do all your selected songs play? (You can just click on them in the Music Playlist, and press Play to check them.)

Regarding your other question - probably not. The music system is incredibly complex, and uses a whole different system depending on whether it's playing a MIDI file, WMA, MP3, or a WAV. It's extremely easy for it to get confused with bytes coming from different inputs. MIDI notes can hang forever, two streams can get garbled together - all kinds of unpleasantness. The safest way is to just shut down the stream and reset the system whenever a change is coming.

If you notice, I did find a way to allow the music to keep playing when any of the other interfaces is being used.
