Yep, I do. The opening line of the demo comes out on my DX4 100 
with SBPro clone (Pro-Multimedia) as a high speed squeaky 
"wlcm to allgro"; on my 386 DX33 (Trust SBPro clone) it sounds perfect,
and on a neighbour's 486 DX80 (true blue SB) it also sounds OK, but higher
pitched than on the DX33. I have the feeling the computer's CPU speed affects
the playback rate but I haven't made enough tests across enough
computers. Mikmod doesn't have the same problem, so equivalent routines
in MikAlleg should work OK.
