Viasta sound interface breaks legacy code

Vista has lot of problems. I am about to post about sound handling.
Every part of a sound controller gets a different device id. That is
that the input and output devices each have a different ID. That did
not happen in XP and MANY program are written with that assumption so
when you have more than one card it gets it wrong unless you are using
the default card.

I wish there were a registry key to change to fix this but apparently
there is not. I think that was an really bad decision not to make at
least a backward compatible option for this as it will break a LOT of
code.
