winmm/midi tests and VMware

[Paul Vriens]

Hi Alexandre,

Just wanted your opinion on the following:

VMware Workstation officially only supports MIDI output via the 
synthesizer device. The problem I'm having with several of my VMware 
boxes (and from the looks, Francois' boxes have the same issues) is that 
the midi tests hang (not on all OS's btw!).

There are 2 ways (I can see) to fix this issue:

1. Get rid of (or disable) the sound device on the failing boxes. This 
means of course far less coverage of tests.
2. There is an option in the Audio control panel to only use the default 
devices. This doesn't prevent the 'enumeration' from listing the failing 
device but we could have the tests skip 'non default' devices. The 
attached patch is a first attempt and does work on my XP box.

I've discussed this issue already with Jörg but as said VMware says it's 
not supported but there is no way you can tell by looking at what the 
driver returns (it's a normal Creative driver not intercepted in some 
way by VMware AFAIK).

Cheers,

Paul.
