DirectMusic for Managed DirectX

Hi, I have a question.

Is there any plans to implement DirectMusic for Managed DirectX If so, I would like to know when. I'm a fan of DirectMusic and interactive music is important for games.

Final Fantasy VIII (from Square Soft but formly SquareEnix, however, I like calling Square Soft since I don't know about Enix that much) makes use of DirectMusic for DirectX 6.1.

    You could start looking at the new beta assemblies and the XACT system.

    There are no plans to support DirectMusic in Managed DirectX.

    I was about to ask about this. Too bad MDX won't be getting DirectMusic. C++ is looking more and more attractive for me.

    Ah well, there's always interop. Which by the way I shall be using soon for DMusic. I think...

    Okay, thanks. Now...how am I going to go about this with DirectSound I like to create interactive music with the same instruments regardless of which sound card users have. I could go with WMA but that's not an option.
