Weird WMA Distortion & ReplayGaining Bug

foobar 0.9.5.6 but I've had this problem in foobar for as long as I can remember.

I have a few low-bitrate (~21kbps) WMAs that sound distorted in the beginning of the songs then improves a minute into it. They sound fine in other players and even in foobar if I seek first it plays fine. But if I stop the song and play it again, it's distorted again.

Also, I can't replaygain any WMAs unless, I disable Quite Mode. If Quiet Mode is enabled, it says that there's a sharing violation.

Can't say I've encountered any of your distortion problems, although I've been dealing with the sharing violation problem when trying to replaygain WMA files for a while now.

My sense is that this is too small or obscure of a bug for the devs to be bothered with.

Thanks for the tip to disable quiet mode, that's a nice workaround.
