I have been trying to understand SonyUsbControlSend part of the NetMDUSB
library.
So far I have concluded that there are 4 DWORD parameters
the first is a handle to the NetMD Device driver
the 2nd, I don't have a clue, seams to be 0x80 always HELP!!
the 3rd, control to send to the NetMD
the 4th, length of that control in bytes.

If any of you know what that 2nd param is, or I have made a mistake in my
hackings please do tell!

So far I think that a flow for the GetCriticalSelection function might look
like

LocalAlloc, it creates the buffer it will use to send to the device driver,
here some extra formatting is done to the buffer that 2nd param is stuck at
the front (DWORD) and then the length of the control string (DWORD) before a
copy of the sting itself
then calls ResetEvent
finally DeviceIOControl
this is given the handled passed (well pointer to) from the begging a
"hard-coded" constant 80002004 for IOControl Code, next is the pointer to
the buffer created with local alloc, next is length of buffer passed (the
length given to this function +8 for the 2 dwords added to the buffer),2
nulls for the un-used outbuffer and outbuffer size, followed by 2 places on
the stack for bytes returned, and the overlapped structure, ESP+0x10 and
ESP+0x18 respectively)
