Alistair, I don't really know anything about dplay, but wouldn't it be better to have the DLL register those keys instead of hardcoding them in wine.inf?

I'm not sure myself. The values seems to be hard codeded between windows version and this is the same place the other are currently being registered.
DLL's register interfaces that belong to that file where as these are miscellaneous entries. Do you have an example of where WINE register these types of entries in another DLL?

Do any of the dplay DLLs have a DllRegisterServer export?

Yes. It appears that dpnet.dll does.

I guess then the question is which kinds of keys it generates. The obvious way to find out is to run it with regsvr and compare the registry before and after or use a +reg log. Usually creating logs like that from native DLLs is frowned upon for legal reasons. But in this case, you’re essentially trying to find out how an aspect of the DLLs interface works. I hope someone who knows the legalese better chimes in.

A registry diff is less invasive and doesn't expose the internals.

The easy registry diff. Backup the .wine/system.reg file registry the dll
Compare the .wine/system.reg with your backup.
