Nice, but if I understand well, this driver only defines some new sound API so it is usefull only for your new programs which will use this API. It will not help to existing programs requiring SoundBlaster. As we can see working with new soundcards is not impossible under DOS - e.g. MPXPlay and QuickView already have nice sound support. And MPXplay sources are free so you can grab the drivers from there (unfortunatelly WC/ASM instead of DJGPP). What will costs George's source license? 1000$ like that for USB? No thanks
