Exclusive mode is a windows thing, it puts the audio device into exclusive mode so that no other application can use it, its needed for pass-through in some cases I think, but I did not write that code so I cant comment more I am sorry.
As for switching, it depends, if its raw pass-through, then no, but if it is transcoded pass-through, then yes. You can force transcoding with an advanced setting if my memory serves me right if you really want this, but its disabled as AC3->AC3 will incur a quality drop and is rather pointless.
