The one BIG problem with MacroMix is the latency that it always creates. If
you have DirectSound or QT3Mix available, you should use them to avoid this
problem. The nice thing is if you try to set the soundDevice property and it
fails, the change will NOT take effect and you'll default back to MacroMix
anyway.
So give it a try. You may find a performance increase by removing the
latency that you didn't realize MacroMix was creating.
Good luck,
