Also, just wondering, if there's a way to play the music files from a iso (I'm using daemon tools), I'm going to be happy 😁 (Idk if that count, but the sound card is a isa one)

ogg is a rather complex piece of code methinks; maybe go for a pure .wav solution first?

iso is sadly just for data, or I would have used SHSUCD to play the music from an iso.

If someone ever figures out how to emulate a CD-ROM drive under pure DOS with CD audio support, I think they deserve a medal. Even a solution that works on Win95 without having to install IE4 (yuck) would be great.

There was a "QDOS" port that might or might not do this. i forget

As for adding streaming music into quake, good luck. Usually the problem is trying to paint consistently into quake's wacky sound buffer code.

I wanted Engoo's DOS version to have DUMB's mod playback and ogg playback at one point. Was able to put libxmp into Q3 though, where the sound code is a little less wacky

Found it and apparently it supports both OGG and Wav!

OGG and WAV streaming music in the form of id1/music/trackxx

Gonna try it out and will let you guys know if it works.

I speculated a while back if a hardware solution in the vein of the Gotek would be possible.

^^ I'd love that also 😀

QDOS plays the music perfectly! Thank you very much for telling me about it leileilol. (and Maraakate for creating it!)
