I've just picked up the linux quake, and in it it says that it needs to have
the latest soundcode, and I quote...
"This version of Quake requires that you have the new mmapable sound
driver. You can find the sound code at tasd-3.5-beta7.tar.gz from
ftp.best.com/pub/front/tasd. This code allows Quake to memory-map the
sound DMA buffer, eliminating a seperate sound process, lowering
latency, and better-modelling DOS code"
Leaving aside the question of if "better-modelling DOS code" is a good idea, I
note that the new sound code on linux allows the mmapping of the buffer. Do we
offer this yet?
