Plans about DMA/IRQ/IO emulation for DOSRUN Main problem that emulated IO instructions are _VERY_ slow. Overhead ! * Direct IO port access This method enable direct enabling a port. This is VERY dangerous, requires root privilegies and can interfere with the kernel. * Emulated IO port access "DMA" SB emulation through standard Linux OSS devices (ALSA planned ;-) Since most programs use DMA for sound output, slow IO emulation is not too important :
