Windows is not your friend in this area.

Actually, depending on where you are coming from and what you are doing,
Windows can be your friend. Once you have gotten over the initial jolt of
Windows development (admittedly, no small feat), then doing "normal" things
with sound is pretty easy -- probably quite a bit easier than Linux.
However, OP wanted to do some unusal things, and in that sort of case, the
help that Windows gives you definitely gets in the way.

One thing that Windows and Linux development have in common -- everything is
documented and it is virtually impossible to find what you want in the docs.
