This patch seems pretty neat.http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Circuit/5426/dosemu.html something we don't want to have.
Please note: this patch includes the linux kernel module, not only the dosemu modifications. This is needed to drive the DMA controller directly. You won't get it included into an official kernel - people from XFree tried that many times, this fails. Linus doesn't want to provide the DMA control to userspace I think, or maybe there wasn't a good implementation. But people never give up: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0311.2/0107.html http://www.bennee.com/~alex/software/kernel/index.php The DMA access might be usefull for dosemu, but not for sound. It is good for driving some legacy hardware.
Is there any chance that at least OPL3 support could be added in such a way to Dosemu?
OPL3 doesn't need DMA. It doesn't actually even need an interrupts. I see no reasons why the one can't simply open an access to the OPL3 ports for dosemu and it wont work. Have you tried?
