I don't know if awe drivers support it (but I assume they do) -- but at
least with GUS this is completely wrong way to play modules. Using /dev/dsp
eats CPU time since the processor has to mix the samples. With proper sound
card (ie. GUS) the sample are downloaded to the soundcard memory and the
player just says "play this sample with this pitch". Eats practically 0%
CPU time. And this is where to use /dev/sequencer.
