that's a pitty ...

since i'm starting thinking that when man say that
using more smaller buffers is better than less larger
buffers, this may be because the chance that the
smaller buffer size is an integer subdivision of that
native buffersize, increases ! thus increases the
chance on better efficiency.

i wonder where DirectSound gets its info on deciding
how big the primary buffer must be, which is a fixed
length, unalterable by the programmer ...
