DirectSound is a deprecated API along with all the other legacy APIs. The whole Windows Audio System has been rewritten in user mode to provide transparency, discoverability, low latency, glitch resilience and most importantly stability/reliability. The old kernel mode stack is gone.

Why not simply add a mode to DirectSound such that 'exclusive' access means just that and bypasses all of the high-latency background mixing/samplerate conversion etc. etc ?
