If you say "screw directx" and use SDL instead with openAL and openGL,
then you get to compile essentially the same code for linux, OS X and
windows, and you get to cover the majority of machines out there.
Adding solaris and BSD isn't much more work either.

If you use directx, you get only one platform.
