john, if i understand bart's reply, ALL soundcards that work with linux
will work with dosemu. (makes sense since app writers like bart don't
handcode soundcard drivers. they use things OSS or alsa. the handcode
stuff comes in when you want to *emulate* a different soundcard).
the fly in the ointment isn't the card plugged into your PCI (or ISA)
port. it's the soundcard the emulated application *thinks* it's using.
so for instance, if your physical soundcard is the ever popular PCI-128
(works under linux) but the program you're emulating thinks it's using
the little known broo-ha-ha ISA card, you're out of luck.
i looked through the docs, and can't find any mention of soundcards that
dosemu can emulate other than soundblaster. so unless someone says
otherwise, stick with ISA soundblaster.
thankfully, most DOS games knew about soundblasters. :)
i think this puts you into the "trial and error mode". this should work
for games that use fully compatible soundblaster cards:
$_sound = (off) # sound support on/off
$_sb_base = (0x220) # base IO-address (HEX)
$_sb_irq = (5) # IRQ
$_sb_dma = (1) # DMA channel
$_sb_dsp = "/dev/dsp" # Path the sound device
$_sb_mixer = "/dev/mixer" # path to the mixer control
$_mpu_base = "0x330" # base address for the MPU-401 chip (HEX)
#
(not yet implemented)
it's at least a start.
hopefully, someone will correct me if i'm wrong about any of this.
