I also wonder about it. Isn't QPIEMU interface in JEMM enough?

EDIT: just some quote of Crazii that reveals plans of VDPMI:
I was thinking about a VXD that works on win9x with dsound support, and at the same time, with a possible simple emulation layer of the VMM/VxD API in VDPMI, the same VXD can also work in DOS.
...
Currently VDPMI provides the virtualization of the PIC, the DMA virtualization is still in SBEMU, which should be removed and changed to the VxD API.

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
