winecfg to configure directsound options?

[Chris Morgan]

I was planning to add the audio driver as a configuration option in winecfg 
but had a few questions.

Does anyone use the directsound options?  If so it probably makes sense to 
have an "Audio" tab in winecfg with the audio driver and the dsound options.  
If not then it might make sense to put the audio driver alone on another 
page, maybe the general config page?

Should we have a multimedia page?  What other multimedia options would go 
there?

Thanks,
Chris

at minima, we would need to define:
- which sound drivers are enabled (winmm drivers)
- which is the default sound card (if several are present)

then we could add:
- the dsound options (but they are rarely used)
- midi mapper options (see dlls/winmm/midimap/midimap.c)
but this is absolutely not needed for now...

So I'd go for a specific tab which could grow in the future

Remember, the idea is to keep winecfg as simple as possible,
not to add to it all possible options. In other words, unless
an option is very commonly changed, it shouldn't go into
winecfg. Rather, it should be changed through regedit.
