Ke/Jerry: I just followed up with Bob Doolittle from the Sun Ray team, and he told me that we should use the UTAUDIODEV environment variable. He said that he cannot think of any reason why DTUSERSESSION should be used instead.
Jerry, if you still think that we should use something other than UTAUDIODEV, then please follow up with Bob Doolittle and figure out with him what we should be using. In the meantime, I think we should use UTAUDIODEV here. So, sorry for the noise. The patch as originally submitted is perfect for now. Let's just use UTAUDIODEV. We can change it later if we find out there is a better environment variable to use.
