actually there are not magic offsets, but can be computed from the 
previous values written. the current parser can be better rewritten in a 
way were fields are written to in sequential order (currently, for 
example, return values are written at the end, which is not satisfactory)
but I agree current that current parser can be improved

MCI_OPEN is kinda specific
the others are not.
it just uses that first parameter is callback, second is the returned 
type (which is described in the MCI table), then parameters, which are 
also described in the table. no nothing magic here

to me what works are test (and packing) of MCI structures on 64 windows 
(but with native DLLs, hence using native MCI tables)
what doesn't work is MCI parser (with builtin winmm) and same MCI structures
but we never validated builtin MCI tables on windows...

we just need a copy of 64bit winmm.dll. If someone could mail it to me 
privately, it would be rather easy to check.
A+
