Foobar Acting Up

Lately foobar has been giving me a weird problem.  It usually happens over long stretches of time, like I go to bed with music playing, and awake to find this happening.  Sometimes it happens within half an hour.

What happens is foobar will display itself playing X song, and will show itself at a paused state, while in fact it's playing a different song.  Everything on the foobar window...progress bar, status bar etc, show it playing X song, and if I try to use the hotkey to copy the currently playing song, it selects the one it says is on pause....not the one it';s actually playing.  If I manually select a different song, it goes away for the time being and acts normally, but otherwise it keeps doing this.

Here's a screenshot.  It looks like this right now, while it's actually playing track #2 off Panopticon.

i had this annoying problem as well months ago.
And it was happening on 3 computers with different hardware
After trying various things to solve this ( removing all plugins , using the default formating string, checking for new audio card drivers, new install ... ) without any success, it seems that since i m using "directsound" instead of "waveout" in "Preference>Playback>Output>Output method", it has put an end to this behaviour on the 3 computers. But i don't know if it s a coincidence or not, maybe an expert or a developer could tell
Anyway if you re not already using directsound , give it a try
