Have you read doc/sound-usage.txt in dosemu source tree already?

I've got sound effects working perfectly about everywhere (dosemu 1.3, 
kernel 2.6-test9 with ALSA's OSS emulation). Only in some games (ie. 
Death Rally) does the sound still lag a bit, but not a big deal.

The biggest problem I am yet to overcome is the MIDI stuff. This is 
actually not a dosemu problem, but how do you people get TiMidity synth 
working WITH SoundBlaster sound effects at the same time? This needs 
some mixing, of course, but I haven't studied ALSA enough yet to do 
that. Can this be somehow done with ALSA's dmix plugin, or do I need a 
separate sound server of some kind?
