That Guillemoit Maxi Sound 64 has WSS support

Ahh nice! I mistakenly thought that was an ESS1868 based card instead of the Dream + Crystal combo.

In that case, adding an ESS card might be nice for ESFM and AudioDrive functionality.

Hang on, it could be both...

The Maxi Sound 64 Home Studio is a Crystal-based card with WSS support.
The Maxi Sound 64 Dynamic 3D is an ESS-based card.

But doesn't ES1868 support WSS as well?

Sadly no, despite what's written in the datasheet.

I have one of those and DOS games which support WSS don't detect the card. Its drivers don't offer any way to configure WSS resources either.
