I have, from time to time, fiddled a bit with the Winsound code (mainly
the playback code), as I have hitherto been running NT4 (with a mere
SoundBlaster 16!), and there were a few pertinent differences from Win95
(on which I also tested -  dual-boot setup). I am now running
Windows2000 beta.
At the moment I am still at Csound v3.55 - here I don't find any
problems such as you describe - both 'play at end' and  'remain active'
seem to be working. I have only just moved house, and am still not fully
set up, so it will be a day or two before I can start up with the most
recent version.

The main differences audio-wise are the very different soundcard driver
models - a plain-vanilla MME driver under Win95, and a WDM driver under
Win2K (with vastly lower latency, BTW).
