[GD-Windows] waveOutWrite buffer size limits

[Brian H. <ho...@bo...>]

Is there a limit (or a way to query) on the maximum size of an output 
buffer using wave audio?  I need very trivial audio playback of a 
fixed sample, however it may be very large (several meg) and I'm not 
sure if this is kosher across a wide range of platforms.

I'd normally use PlaySound() or sndPlaySound(), however those don't 
let you specify the audio output device explicitly and instead go 
through the standard audio output device*

* Pet peeve with both WMA and iTunes -- they always play through the 
system standard device, so if you have a USB or Firewire audio device 
in conjunction with integrated audio, you can't use that without 
disabling the integrated audio.  Bah.
