VDMA8.EXE the DDMA master emulator (Announce)

Another interesting project based on SBEMU has appeared. It's just a strip down to minimal function of DDMA master emulator that can cooperate with PCI DDMA slaves. In this case the ITE8888 PCI to ISA bridge. Similar concept was done tens years ago by Yamaha - theirs DSDMA.EXE that I mentioned there about.
Maybe it could be accomodated also for others PCI sourdcards that supports DDMA. It simplifies things that there's no need of real soundcard drivers and other emulation stuff - may result in lower latencies, no sound stuttering, etc...
