Yeah, this is the correct fix for this horribly broken API (did quite a bit of xinput hacking recently). There is no call to query what joysticks are available since the API was designed to allow you to plug in a joystick while you are playing a game. Games just use XInputGetState (which retrieves the state of axis/buttons) all the time to poll whether a user plugged in a joystick.
We might want to have something similar in XInputGetKeystroke / XInputGetCapabilities later on if games still use them (not all calls are exported in all xinput versions).
