Once the control driver update it done, I'll be turning my focus to
revising the audio driver interface to work better, hopefully I can
find a way to provide the functionality you're requesting here, while
keeping the concept of an abstract driver interface -- this not only
impacts DirectSound, but also handling other Unix drivers besides OSS
(ALSA under Linux, as well as Apple's low-latency audio approach for Darwin,
which I'm not familiar with but I assume feels like Unix since Darwin is
a Unix variant ...),
