Yes, you are right in theory.

The trouble is that unlike ddraw, each format has to have a fixed index, which 
has to remain the same for each combination of parameters. Thus I found 
making a number of calls with a number of known possible pixel formats a bit 
tricky.

I think it is a good idea to fix that somehow, but I think it shouldn't be in 
this patch.
