Subject:	DJGPP & Allegro & Sound?

I've recently decided to build myself a 'proper' development system 
since I've been limping along with an old version of Visual C for 
ages, I decided on DJGPP (for obvious reasons) as the compiler, I'm 
settled on Allegro as my graphics library (it seems the most capable 
and looks from first impressions to be quite stable and with a decent 
performance), I'm now looking at music drivers.

I did write my own in assembly years ago (for PC versions of Sensi 
Soccer, Alien Breed, Chaos Engine) but they were a bit noddy (main 
target being Adlib music with SoundBlaster FX).
Anyone on thoughts as to the best (easiest) sound system to use with 
DJGPP & Allegro (I'm using 2.2 beta) ?




From those I've looked at, the MIDAS sound system looks to have the 
most accessible API, I only downloaded it yesterday, has anyone got 
this working? Anything to look out for??

Also, for those who dont have the C++ libraries of DJGPP enabled, 
just a quick tip that to build the latest Allegro 2.2 beta fully, 
you'll need to remove the 'setup' program from the makefile.
