[ale] Re: Different sound device for Q2?

[Robert L Harris]

I only have 1 sound card.  It's a neat new feature in oss.  It creates
the virtual dsp devices, dsp2-dsp9.  You can play to more than one at
a time.  I've tried playing wav's and .mp3's and midi's at the same time
in different combinations and numbers and it works nicely.

It's commercial, but a Linux licence is only $20 and the add-on is
only $10 more... Well worth it.
