I suspect this is what is causing your clicks. I statically allocate 
everything on the heap, by defining vast 10 MByte structures like this :-

#define BFLIM 100001
#define NBFS 100
char wvbfr[NBFS][BFLIM];
WAVEHDR wvhd[NBFS];

Also, are you using the correct lengths?  If you are using OGG format, every 
1/4 second buffer will be a different length to the next. The member 
wvhd[nxtbf].dwBufferLength must be set correctly each time.
