Are there any plans to port VDMSound to linux? Or is it even possible?

Hmmm?
yes? is there going to be a linux version?
And what should that linux version do then?
There is already dosemu for Linux.

Sorry, but it is not. VDMSound is not a DOS emulator, it just provide virtual devices to the standard Windows NTVDM, so a DOS program believes it's running in a machine with a SoundBlaster card and a few more things. Since it's not a full emulator or a full VDM, it cannnot be ported to Linux.
If you want to run old DOS programs inside Linux you need dosemu or DOSBox.

Wasn't sure excactly what VDMSound did, that's why I asked. thanks for the info 😀
too bad dosbox is REALLY slow in linux. should be possible to make a dos-wrapper in linux too though, without having to emulate everything. 😀
anyone know of such a project?

Dosemu is not the same as dosbox. 😉

dosbox is quite easy to set up. dosemu is a bitch.
It may be a bitch, but it's the answer to your "anyone know of such a project" question. (sic!)
