I would imagine that it's subclassing the window and sniffing for deactivation while in exclusive mode, as D3D does with the "focus" window. That would imply that it needs to be top-level and that the choice of window is quite significant. For instance in a D3D app, it should be the same window as the D3D focus window. As an experiment, I'd create a test app with two top-level windows. Give one to D3D and the other to DSound, go exclusive on both, and see what happens when you Alt-Tab away. Will DSound realize that it should relinquish? I don't have a lot of experience with DSound, but my chips are on "no".
