What would be cool is to implement a real driver that you can access 
using CreateFile and DeviceIoControl.
Then the wave api could use mmdrv.dll to translate the calls to the 
device and dsound.dll could use
the kernel streaming interfaces to access the drivers directly.  ReactOS 
would be happy but it's probably
too much work for wine.
