            Bug ID: 50502
           Summary: waveInOpen and waveOutOpen do not support the Default
                    Communication Device
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: winmm&mci
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: hans at betafreak.com
      Distribution: ---

Beginning with Windows 7, the waveOutOpen and waveInOpen functions allow you to
pass special flags in place of the device ID in order to access the Default
Communication Device - users can set this device separately in the Control
Panel to use it for things like phone calls. Several Windows games use this
device for voice chat and don't offer other options.

Specifically, in both functions, if the WAVE_MAPPER flag is provided instead of
uDeviceID, and the WAVE_MAPPED_DEFAULT_COMMUNICATION_DEVICE flag is added to
fdwOpen, the Default Communication Device is opened. The Default Communication
Device is itself supplied in the OnDefaultDeviceChanged callback in
IMMNotificationClient.

MSDN references for both:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mmeapi/nf-mmeapi-waveoutopen,
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mmeapi/nf-mmeapi-waveinopen,
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mmdeviceapi/nf-mmdeviceapi-immnotificationclient-ondefaultdevicechanged

The current Wine code, as of 6.0, does not make any reference to
WAVE_MAPPED_DEFAULT_COMMUNICATION_DEVICE at all, and its current
IMMNotificationClient notification ignores all roles except for eConsole. The
ultimate effect of this is that Windows programs that use this API to open the
communications device believe that there isn't one and thus fail to make any
attached mic available.
