I have uploaded a beta of Podium 3.2.4. You can download it from the ‘My Downloads’ page.
I hope you got time to try the following:
Once you have configured your ASIO driver in Podium, and exited, open up the Podium.ini file in a text editor and add the line: DebugLog=1 below the [Settings] line. This will make Podium create a PodiumDebugLog.txt file the next time you start Podium. If Podium freezes, then please email the debug log to me. I will hopefully be able to see at which ASIO call the freeze happens.
