Would this be used with a looping buffer to provide something similar to 
DirectSound?  If so, wouldn't you also need a way to get the current 
read/write cursor position?

It seems like there is some basic level of protection missing.  For 
example, how do you keep from modifying the section of buffer that's 
currently being read by the audio device?
