Ah, you mean that check. Yes, it's not strictly necessary, it just
decides whether it has to save & restore dwBufferSize or not.

I see nothing wrong with that apart from the broken formatting (please
don't use HTML mail). Did you test it?

I don't care which version is used, I would just be very happy if
*something* is included which makes my MIDI device work with Wine.

How does this generally work here, will there be feedback from a
maintainer on whether the patch will be included, or is it usually just
silently included? 

Alexandre Julliard (or whoever decides this): Could you comment please?

And Christian, please, configure your mail client. The list mails I get
from you are directed to me, not the list, and they are missing the
List-Id field.
