Yep, mistyped.

Yep, that is why DX SDK is used.

Yep, because headers are all the same, but an .a library is needed to link with
MinGWis programs. So they do supply .a library, but not headers.

I'm using dsound.h and ddraw.h from DX SDK exclusively.
/mingw/lib/libddraw.a is compatible with ddraw.h
H-m-m, didn't know about DXSDK_DIR variable. Although in my case it points to
an old DX SDK from August 2007, while i'm using the one from November 2008, so
it's not that useful. And i have to obtain a shortname anyway (GCC is supposed
to accept long names in double quotes, but when MSys and CFLAGS are thrown into
a mix something just doesn't work there).

My goal is to make things buildable at a given moment. If some of my changes
are not compatible with upcoming improvements, they can be revised/reversed.
