You are using a TOSlink digital optical cable, so your recordings are
definitely digital. The unit does not pause because it is always receiving
digital information from the soundcard, as long as it is connected and the
soundcard's digital out is active. When Winamp has finished playing, you'll
find that the soundcard is transmitting valid S/PDIF data, but with zeroes
(ie. silence) for the audio bits. Your recorder is faithfully recording the
silence being presented to it.

more a function of the sound card hardware, firmware, and driver whether it
can transmit the necessary S/PDIF in track/out of track bits to signal track
changes.

Nope, TOSlink optical is digital only. It sounds to me like your setup is
working as it should.
