See Filip's post regarding this - I asked a very similar question. mmdrv.dll
appears to be a generic installable driver, although some drivers use their
own "custom" driver. Thus I think it is probably a good idea to focus on
winmm, then user installable drivers, then the drivers themselves.

I can probably hack together a user-installable-driver that just outputs
some debugging text for example - maybe as part of mmdrv.dll to make a
start?

I think Vizzini sent me a DDK example for an NT 3.5 sound driver. AFAIK,
there shouldn't be a problem with looking at the sources, just as long as we
don't copy and paste bunches of code.
