<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've 'sort of' answered my own earlier
question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>On the portaudio web site I found the

<P>Some advantages of using DirectSound are that DirectSound may have lower
latency than WMME, and supports effects processing plugins. But one disadvantage
is that DirectSound is not installed on all PCs, and is not well supported under
Windows NT. So WMME is the best choice for most projects.

<DIV><B>DirectSound</B> - If you want to use the DirectSound implementation of
PortAudio then you must have a recent copy of the free <A

Developers from Microsoft installed on your computer.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>According to that documentation (more at <A

Port Audio will work with both WDM and MME; however, the choice is really
determined by my computer's configuration and whether or not I have DirectX
installed.</FONT></DIV>
