You cannot tell Wolf3D to use your TSR, right? Then your TSR
would have to be a simulation of a classic soundblaster...

This is true.

I doubt that you can use AC97 cards easily without DPMI...
Does mpxplay use DPMI itself...?

Dunno, sorry...

Neither, sorry...

I get the idea, but...

That is the problem. You cannot modify the old apps, can you?
In that case, you need something which "grabs" attempts by
the old apps to access a soundblaster, and "taps" the sound
that way, so it can be forwarded to the real soundcards
supported by your TSR. A good way to do this would be to
make your TSR a JEMM loadable module, JLM. You could ask on
the BTTR forum or similar location if people can help you.

Do not be surprised if people say that you are crazy to
start such a big project without much experience... Maybe
you can still help the project to get started :-).
