>From a theoretical view, what you are attempting is a good way to handle
it. However, by using anything in DirectX, you are guaranteeing only
Windows portability (which that is even limited).

Since DirectX has three components, Direct3D, DirectSound, and
DirectInput, it is easily possible to substitute another technology for
any of these modules, and to then integrate them. However, you are
probably better off, if using Windows, to just use DirectX.

Hope this helps.
