It does this so it can let the synth complete a midi stream without closing the audio device, because other midi drivers close the audio device when the stream is finished, and just because the midi stream is finished does not mean the synth is finished synthesizing the output. By the way, do you …

I wrote a little program to make setting up the apogee and doom drivers easier. Edit: I fixed some errors in the intro text. The file is reuploaded. Edit2: I removed the program from the post because some of its functions only apply to my driver, and the program is included with my driver anyway.

I found some Doom wads that had modified genmidi lumps, and I extracted the wads so I could get the op2 files. They are included in my fork of the driver.

Will nuked opl3 2.0 be compatible with the drivers in there current form? When you release 2.0, I plan to recompile my version of the drivers with the new core by replacing opl3.cpp and opl3.h with the updated versions. Will I have to make any other changes so it will compile, or do I just replace …

Another update: I fixed compilation warnings in the OPL3 emulators. I fixed signed/unsigned mismatches in the Apogee and Doom synthlibs by casting, and fixed a warning in opl3class.cpp about conversion from Bit16u to Bit8u by casting as Bit8u. These changes don't seem to impact the audio quality. I …
