Subject: Sound Blaster under DJGPP?


Has anyone used a Sound Blaster under DJGPP? Or know where I can get src code
to do this? I'm after some way to produce sound in the background of a
program I'm writing, sound that doesn't rely on the CPU to pump data in all
the time. I know nothing about how the Sound Blaster works but understand
that this should be possible. Something like, "Play this waveform or series of
waveforms until I tell you otherwise."

Later I would like to add speech. I understand the SB comes with software that
does this but I want to do it under program control, in the background, within
a DJGPP compiled program. Any ideas on wavetable data sites for phonemes and
text-to-speech software that uses this data that would work under DJGPP would
be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
