The corresponding Microsoft test takes hours to complete.  If time
is an issue, then the test should be split up into a quick test and
an exhaustive test.

Also, volume and pan tests on primary and secondary buffers is
not the same thing as 3D.  They just happen to be similar now
because we don't support hardware acceleration yet.
