One of the bugs we are working on:
DirectShow is required to play MP3 files.
MIDI files (and most other music files) can either be played by DirectMusic or DirectShow.
Wave files (like the bubble sound) can either be played by DirectSound or DirectMusic.
Problem: We were using DirectShow to play all music. This works fine for Win2000 and XP, but on Vista we have no control over the volume of a MIDI file.
Now we have to decide whether to give up on Vista or rewrite the code to use DirectMusic when it comes to a MIDI file. We've had other volume problems in the past when trying to play both the bubble sound and music with separate volume settings in DirectMusic.
Microsoft is no help in this matter, since they have virtually abandoned all three systems.
