Just now I added a few features - it's on the way to become a useable tool.

There's now even a real application: HDAplayX. This is a .wav player with the following features:

- accesses the Intel HDA controller directly.
- loads the samples in extended memory beyond 4 GB ( needs HimemSX )
- NO "user interface" - just starts to play, then launches a shell.

The last "feature" is cool, because this allows to run another application during playing. So it's possible to run DOOM and let the player emit some Reiki music in the background. . Restriction: the HDA controller must support 64-bit physical addresses - and the machine must have more than 4 GB!

It's all still a bit experimental, for adventurers only. If you're used to run DOS in VBox or DOSBox only, dos32pae is probably NOT for you.
