When I run Shairport4w and use it to play a song I lose the ability to play videos in Windows Media Center until I shutdown Shariport4w. It seems to be related to the setting on the audio playback device to 'allow exclusive access'. It seems as if Shairport4w might be taking exclusive access to the audio device and not releasing it when its not playing.
I don't want to disable the exlusive access setting for my playback device because it seems to be required in order to get 5.1 output over the TOSLINK connection to my avr.
