That's the fancy way, an alternative would be

find_library(DSOUND_LIBRARY dsound)
target_link_libraries(MyTarget ${DSOUND_LIBRARY})

Probably you could make the find_library call more robust by appropriate
PATHS options, but I currently don't have a windows available, so I
can't check whether the registry would help.
