Streaming audio WITHOUT DirectSound

Does anybody know how I would go about implementing streaming audio under Windows but without using DirectSound. I have absolutely no idea where to start, and despite perusing the VC++ docs I am still none the wiser. ( I am implementing a software synth, and certain sound cards; particularily those that are used by musicians such as the Event Layla, have much better performance when using MME than when using DirectX. )
Not sure if this helps but try looking at the MCI extensions in windows..

The MCI is the multimedia interface in windows. I personally haven''t done what you describe but it does seems to stream video for playback, so audio is theoretically possible..

look under PlaySound() in the MSDN

Another alternative is to use the waveOut... functions:
waveOutOpen
waveOutWrite
waveOutPause
waveOutRestart

(etc, etc)
I''ve written a library for work using these, but it''s proprietary so I think that''s all I can help you with.
