Playing AAC HE2 content cause bugcheck in VAud_WDM.sys

[Brussel]

Trying to play AAC HE2 content bluescreens winxp with BugCheck 1000008E, {80000003, f5da23b8, f36b7354, 0} Source appears to be in VAud_WDM.sys. Minidump of error provided as well as audio file crashing it and vbox log

Behaviour observed in 4.1.22, 4.2.0 and 4.2.4 (dump from this version)

Host: Win2008R2 and Win7, 64 bit Guest: Win XP, sp3, 32 bit

Method to reproduce: 1) Install a fresh winxp 2) Install codecs to playback aac - I use LAC filters, which can be obtained here ​https://code.google.com/p/lavfilters/. Use default installation options. I tried versions 0.52 to 0.53.2 3) Playback the aac file in windows media player, selecting yes to play content with different extension 4) Crash and burn

Minidump gives me

VAud_WDM+0x33b9: f5da23b9 8b0d9c6edaf5 mov ecx,dword ptr [VAud_WDM+0x7e9c (f5da6e9c)] ds:0023:f5da6e9c=00000003 Resetting default scope

CUSTOMER_CRASH_COUNT: 1 DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: DRIVER_FAULT BUGCHECK_STR: 0x8E

This behavior can be alleviated by reducing the audio hardware acceleration to level 2 (see supplied screen shot). If this reduction is used, then playback occurs without crash.
