[PATCH v6 0/2] MR10735: dsound: Create independent devices for each DirectSoundCreate call.
On Windows, each DirectSoundCreate call returns an IDirectSound object with its own independent primary buffer. Wine reuses a single DirectSoundDevice for all IDirectSound objects targeting the same audio endpoint, causing them to share a primary buffer. This breaks games that create multiple IDirectSound objects with different primary buffer flags. For example, Star Wars Episode I Racer creates a primary buffer with DSBCAPS_CTRL3D for in-game audio, then its Smush video engine creates a separate IDirectSound and requests a primary buffer with DSBCAPS_CTRLVOLUME. On Wine, it gets back the existing buffer without CTRLVOLUME, GetVolume fails with DSERR_CONTROLUNAVAIL, and the cutscene audio path silently gives up. The device reuse was introduced in 2005 (commit a2f1fd3aca4) when dsound talked directly to waveOut, where opening the same hardware device twice would have caused conflicts. In 2011 (commit e786998daff) dsound was reimplemented on WASAPI, but the reuse was carried forward. Since Wine's dsound already uses WASAPI shared mode, which is designed for multiple audio clients on the same endpoint, the reuse is no longer necessary. Tested with Star Wars Episode I Racer, cutscene audio plays correctly with the fix applied.

From: Jon Koops <jonkoops@gmail.com> On Windows, two separate DirectSoundCreate calls produce independent primary buffers, each with their own capability flags. Test this by creating a primary buffer with DSBCAPS_CTRL3D on one IDirectSound object, then creating a primary buffer with DSBCAPS_CTRLVOLUME on another, and verifying that each buffer retains its own flags and that GetVolume succeeds on the second.

The MR looks good in principle. It's a bit unfortunate that you happened to follow the style of older tests, which I find quite ugly, but alas. One thing that I'd like to see here is a second "instance" of the same test but checking `DirectSoundCreate8()` (see dsound8.c). It's probably unlikely that it will show different results, but this is a good time to look for that. I went ahead and added the exact same test to `dsound8` as well.

My preference would be for something like my suggested changes, or the test immediately above yours. To be clear, there's nothing wrong on your part: I'm just a bit annoyed that there's so much old code around that makes for bad style examples :sweat_smile: I took a look at the more recently created tests and tried to match their conventions as closely as possible. If you like I can spend some time porting over the old test style for dsound and make sure they are all consistent, which would be a follow up PR, lmk.
