I thought some programs used them to determine free disk space and
control CD audio amongst other odd things. Half-Life does that to play
its music.
At least, I seem to recall adding the :: symlinks being the answer to
quite a few tech support queries on #winehq, and I know I've needed to
do it before. Is there anything apart from low level drive access where
the device symlink is needed?
