Please test the latest developer snapshot.  It contains a fix which is
supposed to fix the problem.  It looks like there's a bug in the winmm
DLL, at least in older versions.  I found a workaround which shouldn't
work, but it does.  If you're interested in the technical details,
see the thread starting here:
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2011-02/msg00007.html

If it works for you, and still works for others, I'll release 1.7.8 ASAP.


Thanks,
Corinna
