I was planning to (properly) implement DirectMusic Loader, based on example I've found in MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnmusic/htm...).
But as I don't have enough experience with COM interfaces, I got stuck with implementing IStream interface; how does one declare interface, which consists of two other interfaces (CMyIStream class in example code is actually IDirectMusicGetLoader and IStream at the same time)?
BTW, is it illegal to use MSDN examples to implement stuff in wine (EULA...)?

Fortunately, AFAIK, it is not illegal. It is only illegal to reverse engineer a compiled file, or to use copyrighted source obtained through other methods without the author's consent..
I know of several developers that take advantage of the articles in the MSDN, so that is where I am bassing my knowledge, although anyone else here can feel free to correct me if I am wrong..

Well it's certainly illegal to directly copy code from the MSDN examples; please don't do that.

I must have mis-read the question.. I was thinking he was asking about using the examples as kind of a guideline to this does that, etc (writing his own microsoft free code). Of course it is illegal to directly copy code from the MSDN or make any sort of derivative of that code, as the code is owned by MS, just like the code for say shell32.dll is. By the way, the sentence just before this one was basically said (albeit in a different way) in my original reply..
