This is likely a side effect from not calling DRVM_INIT before calling 
GETNUMDEVS, meaning the devices are closed. I sent in a bunch of patches 
so that things aren't initialized before they are used. Manually calling 
DRVM_INIT might help, but then you would have to make sure you're not 
using ANY of the winmm functions that also talk to the driver.

a patch like this would probably fix it:

- if (wodMessagePtr)
+ if (wodMessagePtr && wodMessagePtr(0, DRVM_INIT, 0, 0, 0))
                     num_wod = wodMessagePtr(0, WODM_GETNUMDEVS, 0, 0, 0);

However, it is best to make sure that DRVM_INIT is only called once to 
avoid ill side effects. I wouldn't worry about it much, After 1.2 is 
shipped the audio tab will be all gone anyhow. :)

Cheers,

You wrote "After" and not "With/when". Experience with 1.0 is that
it's used even nowadays by some, so we can assume the same with 1.2.
Therefore, the audio tab ought to work in 1.2 even if 1.3
switches to OpenAL the week after the 1.2 release.

When I'll be back on the Mac next week, I'll test whether your
suggestion perhaps (hopefully) makes bug #14052 go away.
