The ES1868 is Soundblaster Pro compatible, so you shouldn't need a
separate library. It sounds pretty crap in native DOS Audiodrive mode
(at least what I've heard from games I've tried, eg Descent); and
although it sounds alright under Windows in what I presume is its decent
native mode, it doesn't sound *that* much better than an SBPro.

Although you're talking DSP and not music, I suppose this is as good a
place as any to express my interest in a library, or some information,
on how to use its enhanced FM music synthesis (ESFM), which is better
than the standard OPL chips (although not as good as a GUS or AWE32 :-(
).
