  CLAW includes a package to handle Windows sound, including
dynamically creating a waveform in memory (the demo program plays a
tune while you can vary attack and harmonic content with two slider
bars).  The package doesn't do the MultiMedia stuff, but you can do
a lot.  Claw is freely available to anyone who wants to write a
check to RR Software.  Claw.Sounds is not part of the $0
downloadable version of Claw, however.
  Someone posted a package to do some of the Windows sound stuff
about a year ago - check dejanews.
  I have routines to control a SoundBlaster type card, including
handling the interrupts and DMA, but I wrote it for a 16 bit DOS
environment and it likely won't even run under tyrannical OSes like
Windows.  Send mail if you want it anyway (but I'll be out of town
next week).
