A couple of ideas:

-  Try first starting up VirtualRPC, then loading Windows Media Player 
11 afterwards to play an audio CD. Any difference?

-  If that still gives the same problems, start up VirtualRPC, then 
disable the audio via Tools-Options-Audio, untick the Enabled box and 
click on Apply & OK. Then close down & restart VirtualRPC. Then try to 
use Windows Media Player. Any better?

On the other 'not quite right' problems, what version of VirtualRPC 
are you using? What is the make/model of the CD player? Have you 
specifically rolled back and then re-installed the latest drivers for 
the CD player?

Can you give an idea how old the machine is and, in very general 
terms, do you load it up with lots of Windows application software, or 
use it more as a platform on which to run RISC OS?
