    Is it actually playing? That you can hear in the output and see in the audio meters?

    Have you added a source to that layer and taken it live?

    Have you closed Wirecast and rebooted?  Was it still there after?

    I've seen similar a couple of times, I believe it was an accidental drag and drop onto the clear layer, but I could not reproduce it.  It wasn't actually playing for me, it just showed the time like you see and one time it was a playlist.  Neither time actually played as far as I could tell.  Restart made it go away.

    P   YES

    P  When I add a source (black jpg) and take it live the music fades out. But I ont think the clear layer is supposed to be editable at all, ever.

    P   Yes

    P   Yes but as I believe its not possible to map and image or sound to the clear layer, i couldnt understand why music was active on this button

     Yes the Clear Layer is not editable. Odd that you're seeing a timer indicating a file is player. What do you see when you look at it's Shot Layer tab?

    Can you attach the document so we can examine it?
