Recent versions of Winsound (certainly since 3.45) do use the Windows
Multimedia drivers, and Derek Pierce at Bath Spa University College has
told me he has no problems with the Pinnacle.

Winsound is, however, not very sophisticated in terms of enabling the
selection of a particular audio device, and just asks for the first one.
If your Win95 is set up to play through the Pinnacle as the default
audio device, then it ~should~ work. 

If Media Player works with the Pinnacle, for example, then you probably
have an old version of Winsound before the MMcalls were added.

I'm not sure about the MIDI support, as I haven't tried it.
