Thanks! I dug a bit further and found that actually several DirectSound 
features are still missing. I added a FAQ entry linking to the relevant 
sources:

I read that there have been several efforts of creating an OpenAL backend 
for Wine. Shouldn't this solve many of the issues? Have these projects 
been abandoned?
