Hi,
apparently the es1371 has two PCM interfaces.  If they are both
supported by the driver, maybe you can point either dosemu or
timidity to /dev/dsp1 and thus get both sound effects and music.
I don't have such a card, so I don't know if this works, but
the Documentation/sound/es1371 file in the kernel sources suggests
that it may work.

Cheers,
Rob Komar

P.S.  The sources to Duke3D have been released and you can build
a version that runs natively on Linux that performs better than
running it in dosemu (see www.icculus.org), and doesn't need
separate sound and music channels.  However, you will need dosemu
to play the other great BUILD-based games (Redneck Rampage, Shadow
Warrior, Blood,...).  Thank goodness dosemu works so well.
