Audio card lock problem

[mitry]

Hello,
When i use option 'Obtain exclusive access' sound quality definetaly become better.
But when i press 'pause' audio card still remain locked. In other case when playlist all done and playing stopped card lock also is gone.
In my Decibel always huge playlist is open, then i must close it to get access to audio card or go settings and remove option.
Very annoying.
Please possible to fix this behaviour?

One way around this is to hold the option key- this will let you stop the player instead of pausing it. I chose to keep hog mode when playback is paused so another app wouldn't be able to "steal" hog mode and prevent resumption.
