Actually it was.
I've Heroes of Might & Magic 2 Gold.
The game also use mixed audio CD just like Metal Fatique AND it also using MSS.
The difference is, its using different version of MSS library, and the CD-Audio musics actualy works on both win9x & winXP.
In case of doubt, click setting option in game, choose 'CD-Stereo with Opera',
on warlock town for example, you'll hear the opera singer as you would when using windows media player to play the CD on XP.

Yeah, thats main reason why certain version of MSS were OK on win9x but failed on NT5/6.
The patch indeed patches the MSS32.dll, and redirect API call to winmm.dll, to the patch own routine.
