[Media_api] Windows got rhythm?

Question to the Windows gurus (or the best the list has in that  
direction):

	How do I get decent timing on Windows?

I've got PortMIDI working. The test app currently plays C-Major  
chords at a user-configurable tempo, accentuating the first beat of  
the bar (user-configurable bar length--whoopee).

I've got a cross-platform timing architecture sitting on top of the  
Windows Multimedia timer API, which claims something approaching  
millesecond accuracy. Sounds more like +/- 80ms. Hell, I've had  
beginner piano pupils play with a better groove.

There's got to be a better way.

Any general tips, or anyone prepared to look at some code?

Hopefully,
Peter
