to have both at the same time. My laptop does have hardware mixing, but it isn't very fast (Pentium III 500MHz, 128MB RAM), so I don't know how fast a softsynth will work.
Softsynth involves timidity++, which requires ~P4 by default, but can be tuned even for 386 I think.
Yes I noticed your pc-speaker driver in ALSA :)
Yes, but the kernel interface for it is still not in the kernel, thats the problem.
Is the goal really to get full sound and music from Dosemu through a plain pc-speaker?
The goal is to make it compatible with the modern sound systems like alsa, and with the cheap soundcards without the HW mixing and midi. The pc-speaker, being the one of such a cards, will work just in case, but for me it is probably more important than any other cards out there:)
I understand the current OPL3 modules aren't suitable to be used in this case?
Of course.
I personally indeed do not really care about needing root access, so a working solution using $_ports would work for me. Would you recommend sending an e-mail to the ALSA mailing list about this?
About that the $_ports doesn't work very well for the native OPL3? I don't think they'll help here. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
