yes (I'd rather put a ref to sound or MM in the driver name)

yes. Note that you cannot use WaveOutOpen (for example) for opening the 
driver, but LoadDriver (as winmm does).

correct

they are more than that. they also implement wave in, midi, mixer type 
of interface... You need to proxy all of that.
