Scali : I like your way to see things. So the hardware manufacturer offer a framework for coders to use and make interface so musicians can use it. I would like to quote that word you say "mimic" I was thinking about that exact concept lately. If a chiptune was done on the amiga it sound in a way, …

I have heard alot about that opl3 synth emulation cutoff for maximum profit. Before owning a sbpnp32 I had a sbpro and a adlib, I grew tired of the boring opl sound and could not care less if the sb32 had any or not opl capability when I can have emu8k hardware mixing with soundbank into the memory …

Mr bigmouth I've found that people have very relative definition of what is an old computer. is it a 386, 1mb ram and 80mb hdd, a 486xwith 8mb ram and 212mb hdd? or a pentium60... whatever ... The point at running old computer is to support soundcards like the "gus" and the "awe" so you can listen …

your guess was impressive, Gemini000! It made me remember the fight between the player and the tracker. I think I would switch #2 and #3, but on an amiga system paula was PCM, but my target when I wrote the question was about a PC using a Gravis Ultrasound, SoundBlaster AWE, Turtle Beach, whatever, …

What I know about Lee Jackson is what he did in ROTT, I would be very much interested to listen to anything else he did and you seem to know some. What is it's home page ? What music from him do you like ?

Old computers, Gravis ultrasound and SoundBlaster AWE. What linux distro to use ? I found that everyone swear by ALSA while all was used is the OSS compatibility. Why bother when running an old machine ? OSS support GUS and EMU all the way and freely. Every software is happy. My question is Anyone …

I heard you can connect a wave blaster onto a sbpnp or sbawe, but what was the point ? My understanding is that you cannot program the soundfont on the waveblaster, am I right ? I cannot understand how someone would buy an sbawe/pnp32 and instead of buying RAM for it would buy a ROM waveblaster...

Ok, I start to understant that there is no real difference (unless marketing) from the sbpnp32 and sbawe32. I've grown with the belief that the AWE had some kind of fx chip similar to the sblive, but now I learn that it is wrong.

After some time and research I figure out that kernel 2.6 and ALSA was not the best to have linux to listen to all your modules music collection (and midi, and awe memory management, and x windows sound) so I decided to revert back to kernel 2.4 and OSS and I was never such happy in my life, so here …

Sorry for making a short story long, my question really was that there must be some boundary about what a soundblaster model have to be to meet the "AWE32" appellation, or the "SB PRO" or "SB 16" or whatever, creative labs must have raised some standards. I wonder now what really are those standard …

Thank you so much for visiting the code, Malvineous. You confirm and increase what I had in mind about what I think of that music player. My guess is that flap@capacala just never released it's player source, but only the gpl parts as he was asked. Jepeal : on PC too there can be chiptunes, the …
