Spring RTS Engine

DirectX does not automatically mean Direct3D, many OpenGL games use DirectX for the other IO stuff and only remove D3D.

Spring was always OpenGL, SJ even went as far as saying spring is lesson n#200 in the neheGL tutorials

Spring still uses DirectSound.

Stupid question- aren't BuildBot versions using OpenAL? If yes, I'd vote for removing DirectSound from the Windows version, the BuildBot SVN builds have not had any sound issues in ages.

Or maybe it was only DirectSound?

DirectSound only. For as far as the public source control systems go back, Spring has been OpenGL.

And indeed, as lurker said, it still uses DirectSound on Windows for sound and (indirectly) DirectInput for input.

Not just saying, the file containing the main() function (program entry point) was called Lesson2.cpp for a long time, with even some NeHe comments remaining

No, buildbot compiles are (or should be) identical to native build with same compiler version, same mingwlibs package etc., so they use DirectSound too.
