i've looked at the plug-ins list and that would have caught any random dlls which may be present and there weren't that i saw.
directsound is the active output plug-in so asio won't have any bearing on things (especially as that would require an out_asio plug-in to be present and used which isn't the case).
you may have a point about the hard drive shutting down too soon though my gut is going with it being some else like the type of drive (possibly external / networked) which is causing the delay / pause in conjunction with a driver issue - as Winamp itself shouldn't be causing the whole machine to hang and points more at something else which it just happens to be triggering.
