Why do you put so much effort into this, and why not just write both programs
for windows? I mean, those two programs will depend on windows nevertheless!

If you really wish to do this anyway, I recommend looking at the source of
DS4QB, or DirectSound for QuickBasic, in which they do exactly what you want.

Or maybe you could try communicating through tcp between the programs.
