How to control WAVE_MAPPER mixer on 64-bit windows

Question

From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/mmeapi/nf-mmeapi-mixeropen 

1) Can't use the WAVE_MAPPER constant:

uMxId

Identifier of the mixer device to open. Use a valid device identifier or any HMIXEROBJ (see the mixerGetID function for a description of mixer object handles). A "mapper" for audio mixer devices does not currently exist, so a mixer device identifier of -1 is not valid.

2) Can't use the old workaround of opening the device first with waveOutOpen and then using the handle:

"On 64-bit systems, this function may not work as expected in situations where you pass a 64-bit LPHWAVEOUT pointer in the uMxId parameter, because the uMxId parameter is truncated to 32 bits."

Are we just supposed to accept that there's no way to control the mixer?

On recent OS, audio is managed with Core Audio APIs
