There is a lot of good info there too though.  I see the page was last updated
in 2003 so I wouldn't be hopeful if we asked him to change it, but it might be
interesting to ask him to explain it.  Heck, for all I know, DirectSound might
be using MME behind the scenes for recording.  (That was a joke..;-)

I don't see why not.  I'd be interested in how the KS support in portaudio has
progressed.  I got that working way back too, but never sent in the patches.
