Wine's first release containing very limited support came out in September 2023. Wine 9.0's release earlier this year contained "The foundation of several of the DirectMusic modules is implemented" which still sounds quite limited.
- nialv7 2y agoI just felt this is a missed opportunity to work collaboratively. Unless the author knows about wine and nonetheless chose to start a new project. Which is completely fine too.
- astrange 2y agoWINE doesn't allow contributions from people who know too much about actual Windows implementations iirc, so that could be a problem.
- lmichaelis 2y agoI was thinking about contributing to Wine, but I am not experienced with Windows native APIs. There is also a difference in how my library works and how DirectMusic worked originally. My library uses a "pull"-model, meaning the application must call a function to render more music. DirectMusic was more of an unattended "push"-model where you'd just tell it to play something and it'd set up playback automatically. It'd just play the music in a background thread (maybe even on hardware) and your application could subscribe to certain events (like get a callback on every beat).
