Having read
https://getmusicbee.com/forum/index.php?topic=16030.msg132459#msg132459 I gather that MB is currently configured to use WASAPI in exclusive mode, though it is possible to change this by modifying MusicBee3Settings.ini – in a process that if I get it right, involves adjusting buffer settings.
Earlier this year Microsoft announced that starting with Windows 10, applications using event-mode WASAPI can request buffer sizes smaller than 10ms (see
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/mt298187%28v=vs.85%29.aspx); and on the back of this, very recently, a new BASSWASAPI driver has been released, adding support for lower latency Event mode in Windows 10 (

I guess there’s a possibility that some users could be using Windows 7, or even XP (??), which I appreciate may complicate things, but it would be great if MB could capitalise on this improvement and have a simple method of switching between WASAPI Exclusive and Event modes, which doesn’t involve modifying an ini file.
