[Bug 19523] New: winmm: Multiple waveOutOpen calls on single device supported by Windows, not Wine

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19523

Summary: winmm: Multiple waveOutOpen calls on single device
                    supported by Windows, not Wine
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winmm&mci
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

The design of winmm and its interface to its low-level drivers doesn't support
opening an audio device multiple times with waveOutOpen.  Windows does support
this, using the device's hardware mixing support if present, or a software
mixer if not.

This limitation also affects DirectSound if the low-level driver does not have
native support for DirectSound.  In that case, DirectSound uses emulation
through the wave-out interface.
