Using current BiaB 2010 with Windows XP...

I recorded melody and soloist MIDI info -- one instrument each -- into a BiaB arrangement. One chorus, no looping. Total play time 5:44. Then I muted everything *but* the melody and soloist parts and direct-rendered DXi to WAV.

The WAV file is about 120MB. If I "Test WAV" then Windows Media Player reports the total play time is double ... 11:28. The last half of the playback is silent. If I render to MP3 via the "Other" button, taking care to pick a new name so BiaB doesn't merely convert the previous WAV file, Windows Media Player still reports the total play time is 11:28. Same thing happens if I render to WMA.

I can use a file splitter to discard the silent material, of course, but what's going on? Any ideas...?
