Yep, fully agreed.  I believe my original message was unclear, I more 
meant "given that Windows decided to use the (admittedly more complex) 
multi-queue approach, the simplest implementation on their end would 
probably just stop processing requests on pause, and therefore it would 
probably be more accurate to queue requests than samples".
