Exactly. There are at least two Win32 games (one from the Win95 age and another from the Win98 era) that require the presence of a MIDI device. The game Final Fantasy VIII supports MIDI via DirectMusic, so a DirectMusic implementation would solve that, but Final Fantasy VII still uses the old Windows MIDI device (old meaning it's not using DirectMusic, which is a more modern solution). So, I think a null midi device is still a good idea, I just haven't had the time to look into it too much. (summer plans?)
