I have yet to hear a squeak out of the soundblaster or any other
sound card under DOSEMU.  The developer of the sound code in
DOSEMU claims to get sound on HIS machine, but I know of no other
soul in Linuxland that has ever heard DOSEMU speak a single word.
Full PC speaker support works though.  Any program that uses any
PC speaker technique to generate sound (PCM, etc...) works great.

SOON this will change though.  There will probably be a DOSemu
0.68 series (with a 0.69 develoment series), and then the
official 1.0 will be released.  Sound is soon coming AFAIK.  If
you've done SB coding before, you might want to offer help to the
dosemu people.

DOSemu is truly a wonderful program.
