wmw->openParms.lpstrElementName and filename is a pointer to the same 
memory, due to this statement in WAVE_mciOpen:

memcpy(&wmw->openParms, lpOpenParms, sizeof(MCI_WAVE_OPEN_PARMSA));

Are you referring to FIXME("'new': NIY as device name\n")? In that case, 
can you roughly describe what needs to be done? Or, perhaps you have a 
plan for fixing this yourself? :)
