Sorry, but I'm not going to do that. If you think that some, not Wine 
related, information belongs on Wine wiki, you better bring that question 
here. We already shot down a lot of attempts to host all sort of junk, 
including win API documentation. Which, if anything, more relates to Wine 
then how to make one sound device work like another sound device.

What prevent you from attaching that code to the bug that needs it? And 
discussion with whom? That person has no wiki personal page, nor was he 
using a known nik associated with an e-mail.

I've been called out in more then two threads, that doesn't bother me. That 
just an indication that no one else wants to do this work.
