MMDevice instantiates a device only at start or when changing device, 
but you probably meant client rather than device. Then I doubt that 
instantiating the audio client only once is correct. As far as I know, 
an application is not supposed to instantiate a client if it is not 
actively playing or recording audio.

Even then, there would be no need to alter the interface between the 
audio output and the aout stream. The audio output could already provide 
custom callbacks as things stand. This is not desirable because it would 
make it dependant on the activated IID though.
