Until I can look into it (maybe the weekend but more likely next week at the earliest) I don't have any obvious reason as to why it'd be broken when it was seemingly working ok with 24472 when trying to figure out the notsodirect playback issues where a fix needed fixing with that build (which post-release updates or 24496 fixed).
If there's a way to download older builds, I can easily test each one to find in which build exactly it stops working).
The preview build download pages have a "prior preview build" section at the top for getting the prior ones.
I've also updated the known issues for 24496 (am not going to go further back) to indicate this & reports of the asio output plug-in not working in all setups.
Also has it been crashing for you during any of this?
