You have several minutes worth of buffer?  Wow.  I think the longest buffer
I ever used with the waveIn* APIs was about a second.  I haven't used them
under Win2K/XP as yet though.

Anyway, try doing a waveInReset after the stop.  From the API docs:

"The waveInReset function stops input on the given waveform-audio input
device and resets the current position to zero. All pending buffers are
marked as done and returned to the application."

This seems to say that the current buffer will be reset, which would be a
bad thing.  It's worth trying however, and you should always reset the
waveIn and waveOut devices after you're finished with them.

There are no notes in the documentation for either waveInReset or waveInStop
that indicate that there is anything different in Win2K/XP.  I wouldn't be
surprised if there was however... M$ are prone to omissions like that in
their docs.
