The "Windows XP mode" thing doesn't really work like that. That setting just
tweaks the reported OS version and a couple of behavior changes, like some
shlwapi functions use ASCII instead of WCHAR for older Windows versions. The
audio rewrite is a fundamental change. To keep the old behavior, we'd have to
have _both_ codepaths laying around and maintained. Obviously that's not going
to happen.

Unfortunately there's not a whole lot we can do to work around a broken
application. We need to bring Wine up to match modern Windows behavior, and
modern Windows behavior causes this application's bug to be exposed, as we can
see by running it on post-XP Windows.
