Overstolz, you are probably not aware, but support for such downloaded material is not allowed here on Vogons (site rules). Just giving you a heads up since this thread will probably be closed by a moderator. I'm trying to say it in a nice way as some other users will not.

The XR385 is very handy in video games and sounds really good in Duke Nukem 3D, Doom and Final Fantasy VII. You can't connect the XR385 to the AWE64. You need to get an external device then, like the Roland SC-55.

Go for MPEG-1 and an accelerator card. You'll need to convert the videos though.

Good news! Can confirm that the patch works with Screamer. I tested it with a S3 Virge GX2. Framerate isn't fully smooth in 640x480 with everything turned on, but it has bilinear filtering. There are some graphical glitches, but that could be because I'm running it with the GX2, and not the 325/DX. …

Do these USB adapters support intelligent mode or are you going to implement that in software yourself? DOSBox does this for you. All the MIDI adapter has to be able to do is transfer SySex. Even the cheapest USB adapter from Ebay can do this. My CM-32L works nicely in DOSBOX on my Win7 computer.
