[GD-Windows] Latency of wavOutWrite vs. DSound

[Brian H. <bri...@py...>]

I'm working on a small title that needs to run across as wide a range of
Win32 platforms as possible.  I know that the non-DX audio capabilities
such as wavOutWrite have higher latencies than using DirectSound, but
has anyone quantified the difference?  Is it high enough to be
aggravating in a game that isn't an action game?

Is there a significant difference between PlaySound( resource ) vs.
waveOutWrite?

Thanks,

Brian
