0.3.1 or playing music? :->

Please remember to document them in the README. I'll try to propagate
README updates to the man page prior to releases, because that's the place
where most of the people who actually take the time to look things up will
look first.

It might be neccessary to mix both on some setups (e.g. using the MAME
OPL/2 software synthesizer or a hypothetical MT-32 sequencer plus PCM
samples on OSS).

OK. That should be the easiest way to get things running.
BTW, the stuff with sound events being lost (as reported by you) might be
fixed by being a bit more careful with sending those in the first place;
e.g. by storing them in a local queue until the previous one is read
rather than putting them into the FIFO as soon as they occur.
