Windows is not your friend in this area.
There is a little bit more setup to buffer things properly,
and you use ioctl() to configure the sample rate, sample
size, and so on, but it's nothing compared to the contortions
Windows programmers go through.

I hope you're not under the impression that you're doing the Linux
community a service by spreading FUD about how difficult it is to code
for waveOut or DirectSound, or (for that matter) by extolling the
virtues of ioctl(). :-)

There's got to be ten thousand pages of example audio recording and
playback code for both operating systems out there by this point.
Choose your poison and Google for a willing supplier.
