Well, that covers it, basically.

I bet a few users of PDAs, consoles, various old non-PC machines and
whatnot will complain if Kobo Deluxe can't do sound on their machines
- but as I said, SDL has that covered, and either way, it's not
something I'm willing to spend lots of time on.

Plenty of entries in the "supported platforms" list looks cool,
though. ;-)

Should work, but it doesn't seem to support the new Win32 API at this
point.

Yeah - but AFAIK, I was first! ;-) Although this engine is the first
thing I'd actually count. The others were little more than
placeholders for the name. First one was a Win16/Win32 hybrid audio
engine + rudimentary GUI, and the second incarnation was supposed to
become an RTLinux based audio engine, but never got beyond a driver
API for porting Linux drivers to RTL and some stuff related to that.
Both were dropped as a result of superior platforms showing up.
