   It did. Example: The Creative Labs XF drivers, which where broken totally.   
   Some of the functionality which worked on XP still has to be emulated due to

   The applications should not need to deal with sound driver differences, except   
   maybe if they are Sound editors.   
   Normal apps should not even try to see any difference

   Normal apps have no business digging down to that level of sound drivers
