actually not exactly as mciOpenFile is called with 
lpOpenParms->lpstrElementName

but you're right that the code is wrong, as we're freeing the 
lpstrElementName as passed by the calling program
the right fix would be to set wmw->openParms.lpstrElementName to NULL 
after memcpy:ing lpOpenParams in mciOpen
