Got the sound back in Wolf3d at last.

The reason it went wrong at first? I'd been using many different
kinds of DOS: freedos, dos6.00, dos from Win98, and PCDOS 7.00,
switching between them using batch files. During the re-install of
my system something went wrong, apparently, and I ended up with a
situation where one of the files involved (kernel.sys, io.sys,
msdos.sys, command.com, ibmbio.com, ibmdos.com) didn't match the
others, or was present in C:\ when it should not. What *exactly*
went wrong I still do not know, but it seems that Wolf3d is less
tolerant of such a messed-up situation than most other programs.

So the moral of the story is: be very careful when experimenting
with different DOS versions.. So now (so far) 1.1.5.0 works
perfectly, at least with a 2.4.20 kernel.

Regards, Jan
