How so? Is it just getting a sufficently good signal out of the computer so as to make the differences even measurable?

Does anyone have the same problem?

Which version are you using? Versions before r172 had problems when being piped to (windows doesn't like it if you fseek on a pipe). This was fixed in r172, although I'd strongly recommend using r185 instead, as r172 had some serious problems when peak extend was used along with gain adjustment. I think I'll probably remove r172, and when I've had a few reports of success, make r185 the next version.
