Again, I don't think audiophiles care about exclusive mode per se. They want 
bit exact mode. Exclusive mode is not required (in general), and never 
sufficient for bit exact mode.

I'm all for keeping the name exclusive mode for WASAPI "exclusive mode". The 
problem is that exclusive mode is *not* what the users want, and even if it 
were, it's a WASAPI thing that would belong in the WASAPI plugin.
