I have ran it succesfully on my AMD Athlon @ 1GHz, and I know there are
softsynths that need much less, although not for Linux. Hmm, this gives
me an idea..., running a softsynth inside Dosemu... :) This probably
won't work for games though.
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:)
Hehe, it would be really interesting to see how well this will work. I
haven't tried your driver yet (but I definetaly will), but I remember
that the pc-speaker driver in BeOS was pretty good. Also sometimes the
pc-speaker is somehow wired to the soundcard too, in those cases the
quality isn't even too bad.
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.
Well, the problem seemed to be at the time that the (OPL3) driver from
ALSA was conflicting with the OPL3 being accessed directly. I've now
verified that this problem occurs on another system with different
hardware too. It probably isn't a Dosemu problem either, so this points
to the ALSA driver. I don't think it can be called a bug in the ALSA
driver, but maybe it would be possible to support cases such as these in
the driver somehow?
Thanks,
Julius
